Monday. April 17,1972 Vlann on drama "7T" o 9 triump f o theatre at JLwn roars in inner The Daily Tar Heel h "The Lion In Winter" roars triumphantly at Raleigh's Village Dinner Theatre. A curious solution of high comedy suspended in the deepest of tragedies, James Goldman's leonine power-struggle drama, thanks to Jay Huguely's alchemic directorial flair, transforms into a spirited contemporary comment of incisive wit and unmasked seriousness. "Lion in Winter" is, after all, contemporary drama. Most productions the Katherine Hepburn -Peter OToole film is perhaps the prime example - root the play in its 1183 A.D. milieu, letting the present-day implications subtly sieve through the texture. Huguely makes fewer pretensions. Though the sets for King Henry's castle at Chinon, France, are rough-hewn tables and benches, Tyrian purple chairs and a marble block pedestal, and though the costuming ranges from regal purple capes to patchwork fur robes, there is no mistaking the modern speech and themes. As King Henry II of England (Philip Lanier) and his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. parry and strike on this 12th century Christmas, maneuvering their three children for the benefit of their power ploys, the duo's chessboard tactics recall an evening with savage George and Martha of "Virginia Woolf notoriety, an evening of pulsating radiant light and depressing darkness. .Goldman, of course, sees the "lion" as both savage, clawing animal and human king, and herein lies the tension. "I've buiJt an empire and I have to know it will last," screams Henry. His Lear-like, anguished call is answered by his banished wife Eleanor, owner of the prestigious Aquitaine, and their "greedy little trinity" of sons - Richard (Larry Drake), a barbaric warrior; Geoffrey, conniving, slithering, adroit; and John, a puerile fathers favorite. Like animals, they grub for elderly Henry's crown. People and provinces blur into one during the cerebral family battles. As Eleanor aptly says, "we all have knives and we are all barbarians." The tragedy is that all the krife-wielders love one another, but they can communicate only through violence or fierce thoughts. "I can't touch my sons except in scenes," comments Eleanor ironically, echoing the familiar contemporary theme. The only resolution is sounded at the end. "I hope we never die," say the two monarchs and they reaffirm their humanity, sounding a hope th3t perhaps evolution will see to man's future and perhaps improve on the product. Jay Huguely's direction is insistent and generally consistent. The first act, though, speeds at high velocity and laughs are stepped on, while the final act drags uncomfortably. But time should even the pace, for the show is simply too good to be true, as sensitive as the lute music between scenes, as fluid as the rift on-state set changes. Handsome, slender, bearded Ph:I:p Ur.ier a Henry easily takes acting honors. A racr.g b laughing, youthful omnipotent figure human these are but a few frames from his endless film of emotions. Of the sons. Robert Zay's Geoffrey especially stands out. A difficult role ince Geoffrey slinks amoeba4:ke from cr.e cimp to the other (betrayal is his middle name). Zay uses his deep-set eyes and his repertoire of facial gestures to stay totally convincing. Larry Drake's Richard (the Licnhearted) must encompass a homosexual character of both tenderness and brutalitv. and thcueh his stace pres :e seems too static and his ovements too Gothic at times, his role portrayal is mostly secure, at opposites to younger brother John (of future Magna Carta fame). Talented Leonard Conner (last seen in "Gypsy") as John is often too "busy" sk:rr:r.-rcre i:h holly and stereotyped k:d brother. He wins many. man. lauchs. but needs to tone down h;s antics just a bit. Beautiful Ed:e Kramer plays Henry's mrstress Alais. the voung French princess. She's all "honey and molasses" as Henry says, convincing as the force uhich truly can maneuver Henry's emotions he put to the test. Jeffrey Mac Kay rounds out the fine cast, a smug King Phil!:p of France, boyish but mature enough to match intellectual calculation with his English counterpart. For the Village Dinner Theatre, this is an exemplary spectacle, their finest caliber attraction since ' Man of La Mancha." Hats off to Huguely et a! for "Lion in Winter." Just as the play puts faith m the evolution of humanity, so the Village has put faith in the evolving tastes of its audiences. Take time this spring for "Lion in Winter." 6TQ). "omises Pro Mmsica tickets now available from Union dies by Joe Patton Feature Writer A smash-hit Broadway musical, attractive in so many ways, "Promises, Promises" comes to Memorial Hall, Monday, April 24, for two performances. The talents of Neil Simon and Burt Bacharach - Hal David merge in a theatrical adaptation of Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" in which the hero suffers from what one critic calls "moral color blindness" in his race to the top; he lends his apartment key to his business superiors in hopeful exchange of joining them one day on the executive board. Neil Simon supplies comic wit and ingenuity in abundance in a script comparable to his previous efforts "Barefoot in the Park" and "The Odd Couple." Burt Bacharach and Hal David, whose skill in furnishing the scores for "Casino Royale" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" did not go unnoticed by Broadway impresarios, contribute a musical score that's brisk and alive in the most modern sense. Tickets for "Promises, Promises" at S2.50 and S3 for the 3:30 p.m. matinee and S3 .50 and S4 for the 8 pjn. performance may be obtained now at the Carolina Union Information Desk. Film fanatics, take note: a mind-boggling seven-hour barrage of celluloid from the '50's will show Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Memorial. This "Movie Orgy," which recently drew Five thousand at Auburn State, returns to the screen not only scenes of spectacular film successes but also some of the more conspicuous flops. :x-::-:?:::::.: DTH Classifieds 1965 Belair In good condition, clean. $450, or will trade for VW or Jeep in comparable shape. 929-4342.

The Chapel Hill Concert Series closes its season Saturday with the Pro Musica Renaissance spectacle "An Entertainment for Elizabeth." With a cast of 24, "Entertainment" is richly costumed and staged against a tapestry suggesting the last decades of the House of Tudor. The latest addition to the distinguished Pro Musica repertoire, this presentation of poetry, song, music and dance recreates the splendor of a private masque as it might have been performed in honor of Queen Elizabeth I nearly four hundred years ago. Tickets at SI for the 8 p.m. Memorial Hall performances of "An Entertainment for Elizabeth" are now available at the Carolina Union and at the door the night of the performance upon presentation of ID. Twelve guys who banded together two years ago to preserve, protect and defend R ck V Roll will perform next Thursday in Carmichael. Sha-Na-Na, appearing in slicked-back haircuts and gold lame suits, set an encore record at the Fillmore West, playing to ten standing ovations in thirty minutes and made more than trifling addition to the classic rock documentary "Woodstock" by their mere visual and aural presence. Solid, acting keys the first, .of ..the weekend free flicks "Dark at the Top of the Stairs." Adapted from the William Inge stage play, the picture stars Robert Preston, Dorothy McGuire, Angela Lansbury and Shirley Knight, a cast well worth watching, as four people each facing an individual crisis during the Depression. "ine boys in tne uauu, Saturday's movie, broke the barrier between homosexuality and the screen. "French Connection" director William Friedkin made this shattering study of eight guys who gather for an ill-fated party interrupted by a rainstorm, an unexpected visitor and some encounter-group like truth-telling and bitter confessionals. Concentrating on painful close-ups of his excellent actors and building the tension most effectively, Friedkin makes a skillful translation of Mart Crowley's play to the screen. "Z," the final Super Sunday entry of the season, is fascinating on many levels, thriller or political-wise. The story of political intrigue in Greece, "Z" stars Jean-Louis Trintignant, Yves Montand and Irene Papas. Costa-Gavras directed. The spine-tingling score, amazingly written by a musician without seeing the film, is a standout. , . . 3 A.B.
