Meagher, Clarke and Clarke Direct Forum Theatre
Productions for Second Term
The second year of Forum
Theatre at UNC-A began this
year with three productions by
student directors> Michael
Meagher with his productions
of a children’s play in the Chinese
psychological space, perhaps
two different aspects of the same
personality locked in a conflict
determined by their nature.
Fanny: “ain’t that a kick in the
ass”) taunts Annie (I’m going
to meditate) with a dramatic
switch at the end of thexaction.
Patsy Clarke put on her pro
duction of A. R. Gurney’s “The
Love Course” on January 17,
determined to make people
laugh. The one-act is a farce and
a satire about literature as well
as literature professors and
literature students.
Two teachers, a male and a
female undertake to teach a course
on the literature of love, and the
play ends with a hysterical
scene with the female teacher
seducing the “Renaissance Man”
with a scene from Wuthering
Heights.
The cast featured Michael
Meagher, Mary Ann Lampley,
Rob Storrs and Lynn tyde.
The next Ridgerunner will
carry a list of the Forum Theatre
productions for the coming term
as well as dates.
