O 'Pickwick!' opens :. at Paul Green; U.S. premiere By SHERYL THOMAS Staff Writer The UNC department of dramatic art is doing something different for Christ mas. This Christmas season, the department will present Pickwick!: A Dickens Cele bration of Christmas, by James Forsyth. Pickwick!, which is making its American premiere in this production, is a yuletide adaptation of Charles Dickens' heart warming novel, The Pickwick Papers. The play opens tonight at 8 p.m. in the Paul Green Theatre. Pickwick! is directed by David Knight, visiting professor of dramatic art at UNC and head of the bachelor's and master's fine arts acting programs at the Univer sity of Illinois. Although Knight was born in the United States, he received his pro fessional training in England, where he was an actor for more than 20 years. Knight came up with the idea to do Pickwick! instead of the Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. "A Christmas Carol had been done a number of times, but we wanted to keep the Dickensian Christ mas," he said. "They asked me to suggest something, and I immediately thought of Pickwick!." Knight said that he was familiar with Pickwick! because he is a personal friend of Forsyth, the author of the play. "We actually met at a party at James' house which was given by his publisher," Knight said. "I was in Sussex to look at James' theater. He was familiar with me because of my work, and I eventually became the assistant director at his theater." Forsyth's Pickwick! faithfully adapts the central plot of Dickens' novel Pick wick's trial for breach of promise, his in carceration in the debtors' prison and the ingenious manner of his release from pris- r ANNOUNCING ERNO LASZLO SKIN BENEFITS FOR YOUNG ADULTS!

Wilson, in "Pickwick!" on, engineered by his faithful friends. Yet Forsyth takes one liberty with Dickens' book, moving the Christmas party to the end of the play, rather than leaving it in the middle, where it occurs in Dickens' novel. Knight said that he thought this devi ation was justified in the play. "Dickens wrote serially," he said. "When Christ mas came, his publishers wanted a Christ mas story, so he had to fit it into the plot wherever he was in the story." Although the central drama of Pick wick! does not focus on the Christmas season, the Christmas spirit pervades the play. "The character of Pickwick is what justifies Pickwick! as a Christmas play," Knight said. "He has a naive optimism, he tries to resolve things helpfully. He personifies the spirit of Christmas, when the accent is on the positive, the hopeful." The Christmas spirit is enhanced by the seasonal music that accompanies Pick- wick! But Knight emphasized that Pick wick! is not a musical. "There are some violins playing Victorian songs, and sev eral Christmas carols, but there is no orig inal music," he said. The cast of Pickwick! is made up en tirely of students, both graduate and un dergraduate. "The mix of older and younger students works well," Knight said. "It is a play with a good heart. Its ideas appeal to them (the cast)." W. Robert Blue, last seen as Silivius in the PlayMakers Repertory Company pro duction of As You Like It, will portray Pickwick. John Borden will play Augus tus Snodgrass and Nathaniel Winkle will be performed by Mahlon C. Bouldin. Sam Weller will be portrayed by Michael Cumpsty, last seen as Oliver in As You Like It. Wendy Wilson, who also appear ed in As You Like It, will portray Mrs. Bardell and Casper Thomson will narrate the play. Other cast members who have been seen earlier this season are Carl Espy, Mona Niemiec, David Gottlieb, Dale Mitchell, Wanda Melocchi and Peter Hertsgaard. Performances of Pickwick! will run to day through Saturday and Dec. 8 through 10 at 8 p.m. and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 4, and Sunday, Dec. ll.
