Stern UNC News Bureau Editor's Note: Dr. Stern earned his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina and edited the "Carolina Quarterly" in 1962. He is now an assistant professor of English at Florida State University. A writer has to start getting accepted somewhere. And over and over America's little magazines have been that somewhere. The writers go on to bigger money and greater glory. The literary Theater o: it by Frank Parrish Feature Editor The National Theatre of the Deaf reminds us that language is animated through and emanates from the body. Its performance wrote large the importance of gesture and bodily control in making a text more meaningful, than literal direction and polished albeit heartless and unfeeling acting could ever make it. The Company's grasp was sure and firm Thursday night in Memorial Hall. The first part of its program was "Journeys," some children's writing collected by Richard Lewis. Children's fantastic visions could appear ridiculous as made concrete in the theatre. It redounds to the National Theatre of the Deaf's credit that these visions did not. The, players invested the children's writing with skilled stagecraft. They made artifice seem less artificial. They brought out the wonderment inherent in the writings. Their second presentation, Georg Buchner's "Woyzeck," was an equally challenging piece of theatre. "Woyzeck" tells the story of a jealous lover's murder in a manner as fragmented as the modern experience. No perfectly timed curtain drops occur. The events leading up to and including the murder of Marie by Woyzeck are unraveled in a frenetic, numbing succession of scenes. Normally, "Woyzeck" consists of about 28 scenes. The Company had culled them down to 20, without a noticeable loss of dramatic Her First istaIie INTO TilSCAn!

VERE ClEAnin1 Th5 r knock t .r-r magazines remain behind, constantly on the verge of bankruptcy or nervous exhaustion. The editors of these journals are assaulted with manuscripts (but are rarely besieged with readers). They must read hundreds of stories and snare those that seem to be successful. No program is possible; considerations of form, of meaning, of literary history are less important than the strange reality of an interesting story. That quality might be achieved by prose style, or atmosphere or sheer nuttiness. So these stories in the "Carolina Quarterly" have revealed the D f tension. And perhaps there was a gain in clarity. While the National Theatre of the Deaf managed to capture "Woyzeck's" details Woyzeck tormented by his Captain and a Doctor who berates him for "pissing on the wall," Woyzeck preyed upon by his surety of Marie's infidelity it missed little of the broad outline. The National Theatre of the Deaf created sympathetic magic between itself and the audience in performing "Woyzeck." Marie, "a fine piece who would be excellent for breeding a whole regiment of drum majors," became identifiable as any woman who uses men and is in turn used and abused by them. Phyllis Frelich played Marie. In a telling look at her bastard child, actually a wooden prop, she conveyed the pathos of Marie's plight, caught in a half-world she didn't make. Patrick Graybill, as Woyzeck, was also exceptionally fine. As he sees the Drum Major's "hot hands" on Marie and as he laments that, "Everything goes to hell men and women alike," his portrayal is intimate and moving.

Couldn't the editors have stuck to bream? eolivees words communicate through the language of the deaf-sign language. Their gestural communication harmonizes perfectly with the narrators' spoken communication. Themes like the senselessness and futility of life adumbrated insightfully. With the National Theatre of the Deaf, we see language and it doesn't matter whether it is German or English. It is transmuted into universality. And the Theatre of the DeaFs use of an explicitly universal language music bears comment. In both "Woyzeck" and "Journeys," the Company employed Francois Baschet's sound sculptures. They look like triangulated pieces of aluminum. They catch motes of light and shine brilliantly. But M. Baschet's sculptures, aren't entirely decorous. They serve at least three invaluable , functions. Along with the actors' performances and the simultaneous narration, they musically underscore, for the hearing audience, thoughts and emotions manifest on stage. Some of the Baschet sculptures' vibrations are felt by the deaf actors. Thus, they provide cues. Then too, they are attractive stage properties.

Inc. 8 The answer is no, for each of these stories has its own validity and interest. Each author manifests talent that might be allowed to develop in longer works. Luke Walton's exploration into awfulness is repulsive, but his manipulation of the reader is interestingly outrageous. This is not gothic landscape: The cliched realism of mom and dad and high school science fairs heightens the idiotic horror of the story. Ultimately, we find ourselves offended not so much by the events as by the style. Molinaro's story also uses form and language to make us see things freshly. There is a kind of boobism in tall and six feet wide to a two-foot gong and a quite unobtrusive xylophone-type instrument. In "Journeys" the sound sculptures supplied bright or mock-serious music. In "Woyzeck," they touched in more solemn tones. "Journeys" embraced subjects like the pervasive problem of fungus, the creation of the world or a dragon and how it got its firepower. With or without the sound accessories, the National Theatre of the Deaf, one feels, embodies some possibilities of successful co-ordination as a group and the body as instrument, as individuals. The players effectively demonstrated precision doesn't have to be unfeeling. Another clue to their theatrical prowess was what the members of the company did who were not the focus of attention . in a given moment. They took their positions and became, like the audience, interested onlookers, aware of theatre's artificiality but passionately involved in it. They were thoroughgoing professionals. .

Perhaps the reader is annoyed by his emotional reaction to this quietly effective story, for he becomes conscious that the form has not exhausted itself. Some of the poetry is fresh and striking. There is small point in stating here my impressions of the good guys and bad guys. But it is worth saying that most of the poets are unacademic, audacious and still take seriously the possibilities of poetry. That last point is important, for the very idea of literature is under attack. II Cameos JL Tickets for the Smokey Robinson & the Miracles concert are on sale at the Union for S2.25.

Serious fiction, they continued, is at the movie and serious poetry is rock and roll music. But it turns out that an incre number of people are still writing and writing with an attention to hat they are doing which argues that the printed word continued to be a vital mode. The avant-garde literary magazine has always been a precarious affair, and never been fully appreciated for what it is-the front line of the American imagination. caleimdiair Dorothy K.
