Bluffton University's fall play is getting its full-fledged premiere on the Ramseyer Auditorium stage.

"The Castle of Otranto," adapted by John Minigan several years ago from a 1764 novel by Horace Walpole, has been scaled back for presentations as a staged reading and as a workshop production at the Orlando (Fla.) PlayFest. But it will be produced in full form for the first time Nov. 3-6 at Bluffton.

Darin Kerr, visiting instructor of theatre this fall, is directing the show, set for 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3-5 and 2:30 p.m. Nov. 6 in the College Hall auditorium.
