The concert will air this week on NCTV Photo courtesy of CBS Updated Shakespeare a ‘tour de force’ by Dr. Robert Blake Special to The Pendulum Several days ago a student of mine asked how one could take seriously persons speaking Elizabethan blank verse in Cuba of the 1930’s. A good question to which I muttered something about my high schools class’s production of Julius Caesar in modern dress, which was every bit as ridiculous as it sounds. Although I remain skeptical of latterday efforts to “update” Shakespeare—Peter Brook’s ac claimed A Midsummer Night's Dream notwithstanding—I came away from Much Ado About Nothing last Thursday evening con vinced that I had witnessed a rare tour de force. Play Review The Acting Company, under the artistic direction of the redoubtable John Houseman, is certainly the most accomplished group of actors to appear at Elon in recent years. Spencer Beckwith and Alison Stair Neet were well cast as Benedict and Beatrice, delivering their famous wit exchange with Latin fervor. The director, Gerald Gutierrez, mixed their transformation from misogamists to lovers with a nice ly balanced blend of comedy and wistfullness. The result was a refreshing roundness of character not always achieved in productions of this comedy. Peter Lewis was a superior Don John whose haughty malevolence was comically exaggerated by eye patch and big cigar, but Irwin Ap pel as Dogberry came close to stealing the show. Almost bursting out of his constable’s uniform and mouthing malapropism in the self assurance of ignorance, Dogberry dominated the funniest scenes of the play, bringing laughter even from those of the capacity audience who had a hard time keeping up with fest-paced dialogue of the play at large. Only Jonathan Nichols as Claudio and Kate McKillip as Hero did not quite measure up to the overall high quality of the acting. As a result, the play began to drag in the later scenes where these roles assume central importance. The technical aspects of this production—choreography, set and costume design, lighting and music—were as good as the acting and in some respects better. The set, consisting of three ar ched columns and a raised platform with retractable steps and sidewalls with doors, was beautifully func tional and versatile. The columns were, natural hiding places for characters over-hearing the secret plans of others. The church set for the thwartec wedding of Claudia and Hero was especially striking. Mention shouldi also be made of the brilliantly i"‘ novative interpretation o Shakespeare’s songs. “Sigh No More,” sung to a Latin rhythm and dance, was a high point in this pro duction. The Acting Company’s Mud Ado About Nothing was clearly i fine addition to the Anne Ellingtot Powell Master Artists Series andi worthy test of the mettle of ElonJ new facility. I hope that my stud concerned about how Shakes would play in modem Cuba agrc* Fri 4/2 Sat m Sui )fi/l
