You have confused the C header <string.h> with the C++ header <string>.
See the corrected code, which compiles without error and runs properly, below:

#include <iostream>             /* mha - was <iostream.h> */
#include <string>               /* mha - <string.h> is a C header, for
                                   which the corresponding C++ header
                                   is <cstring>.  It has nothing to do
                                   with the C++ <string> functionality */
using namespace std;

class play
{
  public:
    play(const string & n);
     ~play();
    void disp() const;
  private:
      string name;
};


play::play(const string & n):name(n)
{
    cout << "play ctor" << endl;
}

play::~play()
{
    cout << "play dtor" << endl;
}

void play::disp() const
{
    cout << name << endl;
}


int main()
{
    play p1("Mark");
    p1.disp();
    return 0;
}
