Pickwick 7's narrator, Caspar Thom son, is superb. His delivery is articulate and entertaining. As is expected of a Dickens narrator, Thomson exhibits a distinct style and class that distinguishes him from the "lower-class" characters of the story. He speak to the audience as if it, too, were a step above the gullible and silly creatures of PickwickVs world. Michael Cumpsty's Samuel Weller (correctly pronounced "Samuvell Veller") is hilarious and endearing. Cumpsty brims with life and good-nature in his portrayal of Sam. Cumpsty has mastered the Cockney dialect, and, to the delight of the audience, never misses an inflection. W. Robert Blue is, likewise, a perfect Pickwick.

Blue commendably manages to maintain a befuddled countenance throughout this tangled tale of his "breach of promise." The plot of Pickwick! centers around Pickwick's supposed breach of promise. Pickwick's landlady, the Widow Bardell (played by Wendy B. Wilson), mistakenly interprets his request to keep a manser vant in his room as a marriage proposal. When Pickwick refuses to honor his "proposal," Mrs. Bardell sues him for breach of promise. Upon conviction, Pickwick refuses to pay the fine, becom ing what Weller terms a "prisoner of principle." This action comprises the first act, leaving the audience wondering how this gloomy injustice and ill will reflects the Christmas spirit. This seemingly overwhelming gloom, though, which also characterizes Dickens' A Christmas Carol, is overcome and banished in the second act of the play. Through old-fashioned maneuver ing by his good friend Sam, Pickwick is released in time to attend a Christmas party at the home of friends. Until the Christmas party, the audience acts the part of the knowing observer, watching the action through the eyes of the narrator and feeling a bit superior. James Forsyth, the play's author, adds a nice touch in this final scene. The nar rator joins the other characters in the festivities, bringing the audience with him. In joining Pickwick and friends rather than just commenting on them, the narrator exhibits his own spirit of Christmas. The observers' participation in the party demonstrates the unity of mankind that distinguishes Christmas from all other seasons. As in all good Christmas plays, carolers arrive and add a final yuletide touch to the celebration. And the audience is en couraged to sing, too, so those who plan to see the show should brush up on their carols. The sets and costumes are traditional, in keeping with the character of Christmas and Dickens. But "traditional" does not imply "boring." Linwood Taylor has designed a beautiful set for Pickwick!. The set is made entirely of wood,' its deep tan color reflecting the warm feeling of the play. The many levels of the state the main stage, the low and high platforms con tribute an eye-pleasing array of geometric shapes and focal points. The lighting is soft and shadowy, ex cept during the trial scene, in which the lights are harsh and cold, reflecting the animosity of the players. The episodic style of Pickwick! demands close attention in order to understand Pickwick's "involvement" with Mrs. Bardell, the reason for his in carceration in the debtors' prison, and the manner of his release. In this season of final exams and regrettably - general ill will, Pickwick! reminds us oFthe real spirit of Christmas, demonstrating that in the face of all adversity, the inherently joyful spirit and good will of Christmas makes all pro blems seem surmountable. Pickwick!: A Dickens Celebration of Christmas will be performed at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and at 2 p. m. Sunday in Paul Green Theatre. Call 962-1121 for ticket information.
