4The Daily Tar HeelMonday, January 23, 1984 'Crimes' portrayal of taboos nearly flawless By JEFF GROVE Arts Editor Flaws were few and far between in the national company production of Crimes of the Heart, which brought Beth Henley's prize-winning play to life in a very moving way. The Carolina Union sponsored three Crimes performances this weekend in Memorial Hall. Review The play, set in Mississippi in 1974, portrays the problems three sisters face over a period of less than a day. While the play hinges on attempted murder, suicide, miscegenation, promiscuity and general irresponsibility, it uses such a light touch to make the taboo topics palatable and humorous. The shift featured three sterling lead . performers. Cyd Quilling played the youngest sister and would-be murderer Babe, with a sense of innocence that prevented the character's crimes from seeming evil. Kathy Danzer made the amoral middle sister, Meg, sympathetic. As the first sister, Lenny, Caryn West scored the most impressive performance. In her charge the lonely woman's pain became achingly real to the audience. The supporting characters generally received good performances, too. . Dawn Didawick played the sisters' social-climbing cousin in a delicate balancing act verging on caricature but never overstepping the bounds of reality. In the role of one of Meg's old flames, Tom Stechschulte provided a good mix ture of happiness and apprehension at their impending reunion. As Babe's lawyer, David Allison Carpenter registered a proper just-out-of-law-school eagerness. He undercut this, however, with stiff posturings and awkward line readings that only occa sionally fit the scenes he was playing. Overall, Carpenter's performance was substandard. The set for the play, designed by John Lee Beatty, proved a marvelous re creation of a small-town Southern kit chen. The outdated refrigerator and gas stove looked appropriately worn. Nice extra touches included an electric fan, tins of rat poison, faded wallpaper and an old Monopoly game. Patricia McGourty's costumes fit the characters well. Lenny's drab, modest skirts, Babe's frilly dresses and Meg's tight,, revealing outfits all spoke worlds about the sisters' personalities. Dennis Parichy's lighting avoided subtleties except in a scene in the third act when the kitchen was lit only by the moon shining through the windows. James Pentecost replicated Melvih Bernhardt's New York- stage direction, which clarified the relationships between the sisters and added to the play's warm glow of sentiment and humor. , Send a LOVE LINE to your Valentine in the DaUy Tar Heel personals.
