The Lance September 28, 1984 3 'fVve 7,00 by Brigitte Tomasovic To attend a play I usually presume I will sit in the house seats and watch the movement of the ac tors up in front of me. This was not the case for those who attended The Zoo Story as presented by the Highland Players on the 22nd and 23rd of September. The seating was an intimate theater three quarter round. The set was simple, yet very complete. Two full sized park benches and a trash can were the fourth side of the stage. This immediately gave me the feeling of being in the play. The feeling of entrapment also over took my emotions, especially when the large wooden doors clammered shut sealing the stage entrance. My im mediate thought was, “gosh, 1 hope I like it.” As the performance Of the actors got underway I watched intensely. I do believe that they were as nervous about us, the audience, invading their stage, as I was about being held captive on it. For the first few minutes one could see the actors shake ever so slightly, but this view ing could be accounted for by the fact that the audiertcfi was unusually close. They soon loosened up and the performance clipped right along and totally captivated my attention. There were humorous parts to laugh at after having serious life philosophies casually flung at you. The part 1 personally had the most trouble with was when Jerry, por trayed by Duncan Wood, spelled out H-O-M-O-S-E-X-U-A-L. It took me a few seconds to figure out what it was he had spelled. In fact, his continuing dialogue with Peter, performed by Steve Whichard, ex plained it faster than I could figure it out in my head. The progression of conversation at times seemed extremely odd and jumpy. However,, after further reflection I have decided that that is the way normal conversation usual ly runs. My immediate reaction to the production was “Wow”. 1 did not know what to think. I thought the implication and reflections into Jesus’ crucifixion were fantastic and well done. The entire production I believe deserves commendable praise. SAX 3£PT. 22 AtBCnARU COyRTXARD i:00-j:oO LMAy LUAM LUAU U/AU T The wall tells all!!
