Written in 1945 by the German father of epic theater, Bertolt Brecht, “The Cau casian Chalk Circle" is a story of justice and redemption told in the Chinese tradi tion of storytelling there is one pro tagonist whose story intersects with that of many other characters. In this case, seventy other characters. The play’s title actually has nothing to do with race, but rather with the Russian Caucus Mountains, where the story of a young servant woman thrown into ex traordinary circumstances unfolds. Au tumn Domfeld is understated yet con vincing as the woman who finds herself on the lam with the infant son of the city’s assassinated governor as war rages in Europe. In addition to Domfeld, the ensemble cast of eight women and one man bril liantly portrays 70 different characters, only about 50 percent of whom are spe cifically female. The result is a lot of what directorTedShaffner calls “cross-gender portrayals": women playing male char acters. Particularly effective at the gender and character transformations is Tylila Pinkham. Pinkham is impressively mas culine as the sickly, domineering man Domfeld’s character finds herself mar ried to in a bid to legitimize the child. Also noteworthy is Jordana Davis, whose Soldier cultivates a genuinely moving relationship with Domfeld, despite a line obscuring Scottish brogue. Amy Amerson, who has distinguished herself in other productions by her brave will ingness to physically and vocally disfig ure herself to often comic effects, is in similar form here: a compelling pres ence. Betsy Gordon and Penni Tinsley also transform themselves well and put in memorable, if, in Tinsley’s case, over subtle performances. The cast is well completed by Wes Baker, Julie Castle, Michelle Coppedge and Michelle Ries. Shaffher, who is an uncredited, yet powerful onstage presence as the rhythm and guitar accompanist to the plot, has looked to the production from a socially informed, street-theaterperspective. The staging on the blank Playmakers stage is minimal, relying on a phenomenally cre ative sound the making of which the whole cast participates in —and consis tently anachronistic costume design in stead of lighting and intricate sets. The final show is tonight at 8 p.m. in Playmakers Theater. wvrrTwrrwTTrTrTwwwrrrwvr \ Had Hono Recently? . have developed antibodies to this disease.

Mike Loveman, Chapel Hill Parks andßecreation director, said the fair was pretty much what the department had been hoping for. “I haven’t heard of any problems today or of many problems in past years,” Loveman said. Police officers were out all day to provide security, butthere is typically not much of a problem, he said. “The police are looking for potential problems, but the atmosphere here is such that there is started,” he said. Hallman said the fellowships provided the faculty with the opportunity to support each other and engage themselves in work. “It rejuvenates and re-energizes them.

Loveman contrasted the fall festival with the annual spring event Apple Chill. That festival, he said, has had problems in the past involving cruisers. “It sounds funny, but one of the main areas of enforcement is dogs," Loveman said. “Security is not so much the issue at the fair. It’s more walking down the middle of the street and seeing vendors and entertainment you don’t usually see. ”
