POTATOES. : HERE. 4 rene EP 4 ce ‘Zittel shines in By Robert McDowell The Monday night of the ECU Summer Theater production of “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum” was highlighted by the Superb opening performances of Graham Pollock. Gregory Zittel and Mark Ramsey : Under the direction of Edgar R Loessin, the fourth production of the summer season opened to an excellent audience response Graham Pollock. a veteran Summer Theater performer, gave an excellent, though somewhat uneven, performance as Pseudolus, the wily slave to Hero (James Longacre), the son of Senex (Mark Ramsey) and Domina (Baillie Gerstein), and the master of the play’s intrigues. The plot revolves, to a great extent. around the character of Pseudolus. His schemes and connivings must succeed for the play to reach the happy ending promised in the play’s opening number, “Comedy Tonight.” For the most part. Pollock speeds the action along, but there are dead moments which can be attributed to the small amount of time (one week) that the actors have had to rehearse their parts. POLISHED PERFORMANCE Gregory Zittel steals the show with brilliant performance as Hysterium, Pseudolus’ chief accomplice in trickery and slave-in-chief to Senex and Domina. Zittel, a former ECU student and a veteran of over 30 Playhouse productions, gives a very polished performance as the hysterical, handwringing chief servant whose household habits must be reordered to meet the requirements of Pseudolus’ chicanery. Indignity 1s heaped upon indignity as the plot becomes more complicated until-as a final disgrace the ‘priggish Hysterium ts forced to impersonate a dead courtesan, so that order might be returned a HIS TASTES 5 TRIS WEEK FEATURING... 7 to the House of Senex The plot, based on a book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, draws heavily from the Roman tradition of Riautiis, piling confusions. mistaken identities and coarse innuendos like ballista on the stage to be catapulted into the audience The characters are stock figures from the Roman comic stage the wily slave. the addled patrician (Erronius, played by Kelly Payne), the domineering wife, the braggart soldier, the courtesans, etc. COMPLICATED PLOT comic comic The plot is complicated in the Roman tradition. To win his freedom, the slave Pseudolus must unite his master, Hero, with the virgin Philia (Carolyn Greene), a courtesan of the House of Marcus Lycus (Ken Eliot). Since Philia has already been sold to an absent Roman warrior, Milos Gloriosus (William Stone), Pseudolus must convince the soldier to break his contract, freeing Philia so that she can marry Hero. When Gloriosus refuses to give up his bride, Pseudolus begins a series of deceptions designed to convince Gloriosus and Lycus that Philia is dead from a plague which she contracted on Crete. COMIC DIFFICULTIES The plot is further complicated when Here’s father Senex (Mark Ramsey) returns early from a journey and catches a glimpse of Philia for himself and demands that Pseudolus fetch the girl for him. Then the — shrewish Domina (Baillie Gerstein) returns unexpectedly from a trip to see her mother, and the comic difficulties increase for Pseudolus, who must satisfy both his masters and his mistress, and for Hysterium, who must return his household to normalcy or lose his job and, perhaps his life. Monday. August 10, 1970, Fountainhead, page 7 ‘Forum’ Mark Ramsey gives an XCeCMlent Supporting performance as Senex, whose desires to satisfy his geriatric lust lead him into conflict with his son. Baillie Berstein is appropriately shrewish as Domina, and Ken Eliot is a master panderer in his role as Lycus UNSEXY AND LIMP William Stone is excellent as Milos Gloriosus the proper mixture of pomposity and stupidity, and Kelly Payne performs well as the senile Erronius The multi-purpose Proteans are played to maximum effect by Mister Haskins, James Leedom and Andy Keyser James Leedom, in particular, stood out in his multiple role of eunuch, soldier, sailor and citizen. James Longacre and Carolyn Greene, as Hero and Philia, make the best of their parts as starry-eyed virgin-lovers. The courtesans—Tintinnabula (Lois Hathaway), Panacea (Rosemary La Placa), the Geminae (Rhythm Belcher and Marcia Dressel), Vibrata (Murphy Cross) and Gymnasia (Sandy Mumford)—are, for the most part, uninspired. Perhaps it is the fault of Richard Lyle’s choreography, but much of the dancing is decidedly unsexy and limp. SETS AND LIGHTING As usual, John Sneden’s set complements the action to a great degree, and the costumes and lighting by Margaret and Andrew Gilfillan complete and Roman setting. “A Funny Thing” is a funny thing; and, if it can have any comparison as an excellent production, it can be compared only to an earlier Playhouse production of “Forum” which had the benefit of more rehearsal time. Otherwise. the production stands as one of the finest of the summer schedule. on da Srecks Ms. Blales {MUST BE MENTHOL: A younger citizen reflects on the state of the Union ¢ ¢ r } re) t T f| ec he ] 4 \V \\ \ | AT NEFI W \ W tart won t part by Carol Eads Voting efforts laudable The efforts or the part of the Justice Department to defend the voting rights measures now under fire because of a question of constitutionality are a step + the right direction.
