% oa% Star Mni Theater revives classic play BY JIM WALSH ASSISTANT ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Anew take on an old play hits University Mall tonight, bringing with it political observation rich with satire. Deep Dish Theater Company’s presentation of “The Misanthrope,” a 17th-century tragic comedy by the French play wright Moliere, opens at 8 p.m in the mall. The play tells the story of a young man who openly criticizes the politics of his Parisian society but loves a woman who thrives on them. Though written for a 17th-cen tury audience, “The Misanthrope” remains “an appropriate work for the current political climate,” said Deep Dish Founder Paul Frellick. The play, which has been trans lated into rhyming English cou plets, explores the hypocrisy of manners and the perils of poli tics. “It’s a classic French com edy about a guy who is upset by the society he finds himself in,” Frellick said. “It’s a society where people are all saying what they want to hear and not what they need to hear.” The show will take place in intimate settings: Capacity at the Deep Dish Theater is limited to fewer than 100 seats. Sets and costumes are patterned after 17th-century styles, but small elements give the show a modern feel, Frellick said. Promoters said the show was an obvious pick as an opener for the season. “The story just jumped out at me,” Frellick said. “We’re using a translation from French by Richard Wilbur, and we haven’t changed a word.” Wilbur, a Pulitzer Prize-win- RU F ? r U- f (p) un c chapel hi I t ' !;J .V ■" I fef cr i 3 me ct jn g rm tues'd ays -7 p n ■ w/w ■W: u n .. c ... f ■ u f o r ■ g : .

Dr. Marc Fritz, head of the divi sion, said that significant strides have been made in the field of infertility treatment and that UNC Hospitals is at the forefront of new developments. “We've been fortunate to have a reputation and a strong track record of success,” Fritz said. “We have a complete range of evaluation and treatment services for women experiencing fertility problems.” He added that the division is able to handle almost any problem that might cause infertility. The facility employs four certi fied sub-specialists in reproductive endocrinology, an embryologist, nurses and technical and adminis trative support staff. Fritz said everyone working in the center is committed to pro viding the very best care modern medicine has to offer for couples with reproductive problems. “We have a lot of good experi ence, a lot of good training and background,” said Stan Beyler, director of the assisted reproduc tive techniques and andrology lab.

Many private clinics turn away the more difficult cases because of the expense, but Beyler said the UNC center is committed to serv ing the community. “Medicine, like so many busi nesses, is a business,” he said. “We welcome the business here as well, but that's not our sole purpose.” He added that the facility has state-of-the-art technology berause of recent renovations. It is located in the N.C. Women's Hospital, which reopened in 2002. Beyler also commended the division’s staff for its personal attention to each individual patient and situation. “Everybody's a little bit different,” he said. Beyler added that the division constantly is working toward new fertility treatments and now is uti lizing embryo biopsies to analyze embryos for abnormalities.

The University of Pennsylvania, the University of Colorado, Stanford University and Cornell University have infertility clinics ranked in the top 12.
