Bacckae Enacts Dion,
By ENO SEYUBED
To the ancient Greeks the
theater was more than just an
art form. It was a religious
ritual and the god to whom the
Greeks paid their tribute of
drama was Dionysus, god of
wine and sensual expression.
The purpose of Greek
drama, perhaps all drama then,
goes beyond what the
over-worked phrase "purgation
of emotion" seems to convey,
for in worshipping the god'
Dionysus, the Greeks used
their drama as a celebration of '
psychic release. In THE
BACCHAE, which is currently
playing in the Great Hall of the
Student Union, the dramatic
purpose of personal liberation
is admirably served.
THE BACCHAE, a tragedy
written by Euripides, is in a
sense unique, for it both tells a
story of Dionysiac ritual and at
the same time is of itself a
Bacchant celebration. The
content of the play and the
experience of perceiving it are
parallel and mutually
reinforcing. To say that one
simply perceives the play,
however, is somewhat
misleading, for in the final
minutes of the performance,
the audience is invited to
participate actively.
This solicitation to take part
is not out of place in the
context of this production.
Frequently throughout the
play the chorus is dispersed
among the audience and in this
way helps to include the
audience in the action. The
dispersal of the chorus also
, serves to realize its traditional
purpose in that the chorus does
become an alter-ego for the

audience.
Indeed, even as the seats in
this theater-in-the round are
being filled, the members of
the chorus are scattered about,
doing mirror exercises in which
each actor reflects the
movements of his partner. At
this point, before the play has
begun, the chorus, like the
audience, is trapped by its own
reflections and the reflections
of those around it. Soon,
however, the play begins as
Dionysus appears, and with a
kiss he releases the chorus to a
different kind of entrapment.
It is quite possible that some
people might be offended by
the unashamed sexuality that
permeates the play.
Copulation, homosexuality,
and even nudity are treated
with some measure of
frankness and a large measure
of humor, and the entire
production is enveloped in an
atmosphere of mild depravity.
But those who are offended by
what they might term
indecency would do best to
look to themselves for the
source of their indignation, for
if nothing else, the play is
honest in that it offers itself to
the audience on more than a
purely intellectual level.
The main language of the
play is its physical contact; in
fact Robin Moyer, who
portrays Dionysus with great
tlair and style in the
production, has no real lines at
all. He simply laughs or grins as
he moves about and leaves the
communication of his verbal
messages to Iacchus, his impish
alter-ego, and Michael Groome,
as Iacchus, is consequently the
most powerful unifying force
in the play.

Though it pleased the young
guitarist to perform on a
record album, Conrad does not
appreciate the vocal style of
George Lindzey, the star artist
on the recording. Lindzey is
know principally as Goober,
the nitwit on "Mayberry
RFD." Not surprisingly, the
title of the record album is
"Goober Sings."
David Conrad's experience
extends farther than a single
recording session. For example,
he is now a member of an
instrumental jazz trio that
entertains regularly in Chapel
Hill. He has performed in
similar situations since he was
17 years old.
Events leading to Conrad's
first record date began in ,
Nashville in the summer of
1967. He and a friend heard
that Chet Atkins would be
taping a television show for
station WSM. The two of them
attended, and Conrad

"My buddy said 1 should
talk to him before the show,"
Conrad recalls, "because
people would be around him
after it was over. So I went up
and talked with him while he
was by himself waiting for the
taping to begin. I told him I
picked a little myself. (In
Nashville you always pick
the guitar; you never play it.)
"I gave Chet the book to
sign his autograph. He was
holding a guitar at the time,
and since he couldn't sign the
book with the guitar in his
hand, he gave it to me and
asked me to pick a little
something. I know this is going
to sound immodest, but he said
he liked what I did, and he
invited me to be on the show."
Conrad played two numbers
on the television program,
including a duet with Chet
Atkins, who is now President
of RCA Victor in Nashville. .
After corresponding with
Atkins during the winter of
1967-1968, Conrad took a job
with RCA's Nashville studios
this past summer. He carried
mail and served as an office
boy.
When "The Festival of

accompanied the troupe to act
