Holy Blasphemy! 'Sister'
nails church with humor
If "Thou shalt not laugh" were a
commandment, Duke's Branson
Theatre would be a hotbed of sin.
To theatregoers who take religion
seriously, it might be anyway.
Christopher Durang's play Sister
Mary Ignatius Explains It All For
You approaches the Catholic church
in a spirit of "divide and conquer."
What Durang divides is dogma from
reason, religious doctrine from
common sense. Pointing out the gap
between the demands of an old faith
and those of modern society, he
conquers through the irresistible
force of laughter.
The targets of his humor arent the,
Steve Murray
Review
buffoons and misfits of most come
dies. The Catholic saints, Holy
Communion, and the life of Christ
from Immaculate Conception (or is
it the Virgin Birth?) to Ascension all
get smacked by Durang's cream pies.
And the playwright's aim is keen.
On the Branson stage, the world
of Sister Mary Ignatius seems tidy
enough a desk, an armchair and
a statue of the Virgin. But this cozy
corner of parochial school ignores
the chaos of a universe freighted with
injustice and hardship.
In her lecture on the order of the
cosmos, Sister Mary Ignatius, played
by Erne Talbot, has pat answers.
After life on earth, the soul is
consigned to heaven, hell or purga
tory according to the degree of one's
adherence to church doctrine. Pre
sumably, none but Catholics will
enter the Gates.
As far as human suffering goes,
all rewards and answers can be found
only in the afterlife. Short of that,
a cookie can tide the soul over.
The nun's straightforward, tour
guide descriptions of heaven, hell
and purgatory provide early laughs
in the play." Durang's cunning is
evident here. The descriptions aren't
inherently different from those one
would hear from a hard-backed pew.
But in the seats of a theatre, the
audience can listen without fear of
laughing at what is laughable. .
Drama first developed from reli
gious ceremony. This fact is brought
hilariously home by a pageant
performed by four adult alumni of
Sister Mary Ignatius' tutelage.
Poets to be chosen for reading
Six local ooets will be selected to read
their works with established writers

The Dead Kingdom.

A modern , variant on morality
plays, the slapdash depiction of
Christ's life includes the birth and
crucifixion of a plastic doll Messiah,
and a makeshift, two-man camel
whose hump becomes a guardian
angel in a moment of dramatic
economy. This section and the play
as a whole are handled well by
director Daniel Clancy.
Bob Baumgardner and Katrina
Stevens, working together as the
camel then separately as Aloyisius
and Philomena, make the most of
their roles. In particular, Stevens
hams up her dromedary part delight
fully, but knows to calm down when
the camel mask comes off.
As Gary, the Joseph of the
pageant, Mark Logan serves his role
well. But as Diane Mary, the voice
of revolt against Sister Mary Igna
tius' instruction, Melissa Lockhart is
too controlled. Granted, an over
emotional performance would be
alienating, but so is her wall of self
containment. A happy surprise in the cast is Jon
Gardiner as Thomas, the nun's
current student who has learned his
lessons only too well. His grim,
schoolboy demeanor and deadpan
delivery pleasantly contradict the
general rule that children onstage,
like animals, invite dramatic
catastrophe. "
Ultimately, the evening rests on
the black-draped shoulders of the
dreaded sister herself. Eme Talbot's
mix of contemplative pauses and
lively outbursts of theology and or
lunacy nicely dramatize the contra
dictory impulses at the heart of her
calling. Talbot makes the nun a
sympathetic monster.
Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It
All For You is a harsh comedy, but
not gratuitous. At the base of the
humor, as in all good comedy, there
lies a foundation of seriousness
in this case, nothing less than the
question of human suffering.
This play demonstrates theatre's
values as a tool for approaching and
examining our taboos through
humor. It also shows the close link
between drama and religion. When
the answers are pre-packaged and
the company too solemn, theatre still
offers chances to ask, and to laugh.
The Duke Players' production of
Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All
for You continues Friday and Sat
urday at 8:15 p.m. For ticket infor
mation, call 684-4059.
