2 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20,2006 Play slays viewers with laughter BY BRYAN REED STAFF WRITER The similarity between photog raphy and murder is all in framing the shot. Art and professional assassi nation were combined Friday in Swain Hall Studio Six Theater during the one-act play “Framing the Shot,” which was written and directed by University master’s student Allan Maule. The comedy explores the notion of death as a life-defining experi ence in the aftermath of a near death experience. Maule's work takes place entirely in the apartment of Jake, a nervous, socially anxious photographer. At the outset of the play, Jake’s exuberant neighbor Terry bursts in his door to tell Jake that he had just survived an assassination attempt and that he had found anew zeal for life. It is revealed in a conversation with Jake’s gangster boss, Lance, ■ An assault with a deadly weapon was reported at 4:18 a.m. Sunday at Players nightclub at 159 1/2 E.

Lance, the obnoxiously macho mobster, encourages Jake to fol low through with his assignment, but Jake becomes increasingly con flicted as his friendship with Terry grows. The play’s theme lacks subtlety but is nonetheless effective in its exploration of death and near death. Jake, the hit man whose phi losophy basically states, “Death is that which gives meaning to life,” grapples with his cheapened view of death as Terry learns what it is to be alive and not to take it for granted. But it’s a comedy, right? Laughs abound with one-liners and gallows humor, not to men tion the constant irony of Terry’s unknowing friendship with his would-be assassin. The play pokes fun at Lance’s disposable idea of life with dialogue POLICE LOG the items. More than SB,OOO worth of property was stolen including a laptop computer, clothes, an iPod and various other electronics, reports state. ■ The Buy & Go food mart at 106 Ephesus Church Road was the victim of larceny Friday according to Chapel Hill police reports. Reports State the suspect used a rock to smash glass from the door, enter the building and steal ciga rettes and money. The report states the suspect took $1,484 worth of cigarettes, $7,500 worth of Cingular Wireless THEATERREVIEW FRAMING THE SHOT WORDSHED PRODUCTIONS FRIDAY irkirk such as his command to Jake: “If he’s not dead when I get back, I will f—ing kill you. Understand?” (beat) “Good.” (beat) “I’m gonna go get a smoothie.” Constant jokes about Jake’s sex uality (“Have you heard his music collection?”) also provide comic relief. But the dark humor and irony do more than enough to offer comic relief, while the gay jokes tend to detract from the play’s overall pur pose. Other than the occasional unnecessary joke, the writing is solid. The dialogue is dramatic but not overblown, and the actors do a great job of bringing it to life. Cory' Kraftchick, as Jake, gives phone cards and S6OO cash. Damage from the incident, including the stolen goods, totaled $9,588.14, the report states. ■ Two people were arrested Friday at 1129 Weaver Dairy Road for possession of marijuana, accord ing to Chapel Hill police reports. Reports state that 26-year-old Shandi Reene Sutton of Sumter, S.C., was arrested at 4:30 p.m. for possession of marijuana. After being processed, Sutton was remanded to the Orange County Jail on $5,000 secured bond, according to reports. Reports state that a man was News the introverted artist/killer a slightly unsettling level of social anxiety, making him the perfect killer: socially acceptable, but just a little bit off. Southey Blanton, as Lance, ebod ies the cocky gangster: nonchalant in the face of violence and ready to snap with the wrong glance. The standout performance belongs to Bo Odom with his por trayal of Terry. He gives an ener getic, physical performance —very much like a Jack Black character in style and wackiness. The homegrown production comes together with solid direc tion to become a highly enjoyable play. As the cast bowed and the appropriately chosen music of The Killers filled the room, the only real disappointment was that it was over.

According to police reports, 28- year-old Casern Charles Gascot of Decatur, Ga., was arrested at 6:30 p.m. and charged with possession of marijuana.
