TAPES S A LITTLE BIT MORE By KAREN ROSEN . . Staff Writer Helen had a face that launched a thousand ships, bringing the Greeks to Troy. The Playmakers Repertory Company has features just as dazzling in getting The Creeks off the ground in Chapel Hill. The figures dwarf even Helen: 250 costumes, 80 characters, 40 actors, 17 years, 15 murders, 10 plays, seven hours, two nights. Television has its February sweeps period, but no miniseries could be more sweeping than The Greeks, playing at the Paul Green Theatre through Feb. 27. PRC's adaptation of the ancient classics comes straight from the Royal Shakespeare Company, which also developed Nicholas Nickleby. Why undertake something so massive and marathon? "To see if we could do it," David Rotenberg, PRC's artistic director, said. He and Associate Artistic Director Gregory Boyd each direct five of The Greeks' 10 plays about the Trojan War and its results. Part I is called "The Cursed;" part II, "The Blessed." "We wanted a project that was a re-interpretation of the classics, but somehow was a big event," Rotenberg said. "Something that said 'If you can do that,, there's nothing you can't do.' " Rotenberg has a personal reason for choosing The Greeks. The 15 murders aren't just window dressing. Rotenberg' s version of The Greeks depicts "violence and the violent world in which we live." The characters may be straight out of Homer and Euripides, but the passions and pettiness are as familiar as any soap opera. "Greg and I are modern. The audience is modern. We don't know what took place back then," Rotenberg said. "There were no papers, and the TV stuff was really bad ... . n "We're applying our mentality, our perceptive qualities, our own sen sibilities." I d Bobbi Owen's costumes are more put, pf The Road Warrior than Animal House. "There's no attempt to dejogas," Rotenberg said. "Not a single bedsheet in this plav." - 4 scalp OS "The language is very modem, very straightforward. No 'thee and 'thou.' It is brutally blunt: I hate you.' " Hate is a prime factor in The Greeks. "There's some grim stuff. It's not light and hearty," Rotenberg said. "We as people in the 20th century are ! I 1 ' . . I . . ..r . . f 11 . involved in some 01 ine enmmesr events, we re ine prearesi m a rne butchers." , Yet no modern family can match the reputation of the House of Atreus. Agamemnon and Clytemnestra are no Ozzie and Harriet, and their children are a murderous bunch, if they're not first being sacrificed to the gods. "When you break the fabric of the world and become a murderer, you ve broken the laws of man and time," Rotenberg said. This unleashes the Furies, the incarnation of revenge, "In this play, it stops. A god comes down and says, 'Enough. You're going to marry her, and you're going to be happy. And I'm taking Helen, to put her in the sky so she can be a constellation for sailors.' " And he dances her up to heaven. Shades of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, perhaps? Exactly. "Part of the motif is the sense of anachronism," said Rotenberg, who has kept some Royal Shakespeare Company innovations ana aaaed otners. " 1 here are times wnen you will una tne most relevant modern equipment used as a prop to highlight what the person is." For example, when Agamemnon first enters Troy, he celebrates with a can of beer. "How do you celebrate spending ten years and finally win ning?" Rotenberg asked. "He's inside the walls going, 'What a bummer. There's nothing here.' They watched all of their men die.. What was the point?" .., J The Greeks deals with big themes, but not in a preachy or ponderous way. "It moves like the wind," Rotenberg said. "It's a seven-hour story," Part of the reason the play is so long is because the point is living, and man's tremendous endurance. "It's a full evening of your time," said Rotenberg. "It a terrific thing to have a drink on afterwards. You will make the bars before they close." r 1 vim Hy5 "I'm not sure what I would do," he admitted J "The ' problem has never been examined by the student attor ney general's office and it is still a very hazy issue," he said. The situation was perhaps best summed up by Anne Bowden, the judicial programs officer for the depart ment of student life in the office of student affairs, who said, "I'm just not sure. It's a good question, and it doesn't appear it's arisen as an issue so tar." No one interviewed could recall any arrests for or reports of students selling their student tickets. Thus, while the confusion lingers, student scalpers continue to operate apparently unchecked since no University orga nization claims direct responsibility for policing the problem. Several practices have been set up to ensure that students are the ones who receive and use the tickets purchased with student money, but this has not been ef fective in eliminating student scalpers. Morrison said that to get a student ticket, a person must present an athletic pass and a valid student ID. The IP must then also be presented along with the ticket at the gate in order to get into the game. "At least that's the way it's supposed to be," he said, adding that it is hard to ensure that the ushers will strict ly enforce the policy. Many ushers in fact do not refuse to. admit people who have student tickets but not student IDs. "It's hard to turn someone away if they have a ticket," one usher said, pointing out that the seat would just be left empty if the person was not admitted. Another usher added that he usually warns people not to try getting in again without an ID. Mauer said catching ticket scalpers is difficult. Be cause of the state law, he said, people are able to sell, rickets in the orjen. Manv iust have extra tickets that they want to get rid of and sell them within the limits of , the law. The only way to catch someone selling tickets illegally, he said, is to be looking over their shoulder when they do it. - Besides, he pointed out, if a person wants to scalp a ticket, he can do it in private before the game when no one sees it. ; h.i.i-tBft, .tfrnlthlfr uiUhlitS tti,J:Ulji (tt.WMolS) .M.fr.K.
