Thursday. November 13. lOCQThe Daily Tar H-c! 5 1 r. - ... 'J fa, h.' X-' tJ Cy PHI UP GAL AN IIS SUff Writer The Playmakcrs Repertory Theater has found a success in Gcor Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession. Shaw's play is about prostitution in the same way Hamlet is about the murder of a king. The blsr issue in the play is social conscience. Shaw does not indict prostitution but takes his stabs at a society that allows it to exist and flourish. The play is a series of discoveries, revelations from the past which determine the futfire of the leading characters. Mrs. Wcrren's Profession is built around two confrontations between Mrs. Warren and her daughter, Vivie. Mrs. Warren wins the first round by convincing her daughter that her profession was forced upon her by the injustices of the social order. However, she loses the second bout after Vivie's discovery that she has continued her nefarious trade long after the economic excuse for it has disappeared. Mrs. Warren is presented sympathetically yet always critically: as Vivie's beau describes her, "a good sort, but a bad lot." Her tragedy is her rejection by the daughter whom she has educated to the extent that makes association between them impossible. ' In this production, it is the director, David Rotenberg, who deserves highest kudos. He has worked with Shaw's play effectively and led the actors to an understanding rendition of it. This is especially pleasing in the face of the previous Fhymakers production The Cocktail Party, in which the director evidently did not take time to fully understand Eliot's play. irs.-.-sxy.-ss.-.-s. Pcrtrfcia O'DcnnsII, Richard Cuck end Ucn t'zzzxzX ...in scene from 'Mrs. Warren Profession' ' Nada Rowand gives . a marvelous performance as Mrs. Warren. She is intended to be likeable, though she is monstrous in the eyes of her disillusioned daughter. Rowand defines her quite well goou -looking, showily dressed in ornate costumes, spoiled and domineering, yet a plesant woman. ' Likewise, Patricia O'Donnell fashions a highly effective Vivie Warren a wholly competent, well-educated, middle class young woman. The action is as she sees it, for the problem is hers. O'Donnell presents an unsentimental outlook, because conscience is hard, and Vivie's conscience is the dramatic action of the play. Cy TERESA CUKKY Staff Writer A group of UNC students - who participated in a five-year field project at Mont Darden in southern Burgundy, France has learned that knowledge can come from places other than the classroom. "Being in a foreign culture helps you to realize things that are valuable in your own society as well as pointing out its shortcomings," said Paul Green, a graduate student at UNC from Virginia Beach, Va. Green was one of about 20 UNC students (out of 30 participants) involved in the project. The project was an excavation study of an Iron Age site located in southern Burgundy. Students traveled back and forth to France during the project period. Dr. Carole Crumley, an associate professor in the UNC anthropology department, was in charge of the project that began in the summer of 1975 and ended last year. "By studying the site and seeing how the Celts once used the lands there. students "were able to see how regions undergo change so that we can better tackle future problems," Crumley said. The group was so impressed by its experience that 'it plans to write a 300-400 page book on the project. Several of the project participants are writing chapters to the book, while Crumley is writing two chapters ar.d a summary. Crumley, Green and Walter , Berry, an anthropology instructor at the University of Missouri, will edit the book. "It should have a coffee table appeal for professionals in those fields discussed in the book," Crumley said. The group plans to take a finished manuscript to the Cambridge University Press by September 131. Eight of the . estimated 20 UNC students who helped on the project are still at the University. All but one are enrolled in the graduate program in anthropology. Besides Green, the others are Scott Madry, Chris Tourney, Allen Fischer, Tim McMillan, Mark Younce, Alf Sjoberg and Jason Dowdle. Crumley said she selected the project participants "from ecology to art history and from geology to Latin." "1 chose people to work on the project based on. two criteria. One depends on what position I need to fill at the time, and the other depends on the person's personality and how I feci they can adjust to the French society," Crumley added. The project received support from The National Science Foundation, Earthwatch " and The National Endowment for Humanities, Crumley said. " -t . Other student participants said they thought the project was valuable to them. "You really learn more by Jijst doing," said Madry, who is preparing a manuscript on serial photography and the use of satellite mapping techniques " for the book. j Dowdle, a Winston-Salem native who is writing a segment on road networks and trade routes of the Celts for the bock, said he learned "there is actually room for variation" in culture. . "Working in another area gives you a - perspective on w hat you think is real," he said.
