NDT plays
Continued from P&e 10 .
Their threats of separation are swept
under the rug; "I don't know what we
said but we didn't mean it, OK?" Jeal
ousy about friends seems to be one of
the keys to their problem, and to the
whole play. Paul says that friendships
are supposed to make you think your
life's not as good and presumably to
keep on trying. Within the play, it
seems to be the social pressures
represented by the constant presence
and intrusions of these friends that
make marriage and commitment diffi
cult for the characters.
In the second part, called "Abroad,"
the play widens to include Paul's and
Carol's friends. Between scenes, the
recorded gossip of these friends fill the
darkened stae with insinuating spec
ulations which seem almost to have a
corrosive effect on the relationships
we see portrayed after the gossipers
are gone.
Paul and Carol do separate, and
Marge (Amy Thone) moves in with
Paul. Her inane talk of Stevie Wonder
makes Paul a little incredulous, - as
does the proposal of swinging made by
his friend Bob (Tim Ganser). Much of
the play makes fun of hip 1970s fool
ishness the video realtor Jay (Scott
Spence) is much too cool, the waiter
(Stan Haehl) and Jean (Barbare Svob
oda) also seem to have an image to get
across. Although the second part of
Weller's play itself doesn't hold together
well, some scenes, such as one where
Rudloff is chased around by Jay's per
sistent video camera and finally kneels
at one end with her coat draDed over
the front of her, are entertaining and (
well rinnf
The farce Ikky, Ikky, Nye, Nye, Nye,
directed by Joette M. Pelster, is a hilar
ious piece about double characters:
Graham (J. Christopher Wineman) who
alternates between a prissy, nervous
clerk and a telephone heavy breather,
and Edith (Amy Thone) who shifts
easily from repressed New Jersey girl
to would-be sultry Southern belle.
Thone is very good and very funny in
the changes of her voice. From the
betrayed question "Was it just my turn?'
to the exulting declaration, "Men, men.
men in my apartment!" is a ways to go.
and Thone does it with zest.
Foster exhibit focuses on
Latin American tradition
A Latin American poster exhibit
will be shown in the Main Lounge of
the Nebraska Union Sunday through
March 23. The exhibit, entitled Con
temporary Latin American Art' Re
flections of Change, includes pos
ters from Central America, South
America and the Carribean. The
Latin America Solidarity Commit
tee is sponsoring it as part of Cen
tral America Week.
Latin America has a rich and
respected tradition of poster art.
The synthesis of art and politics
reflected in the posters speaks to
the experience of societies in transi
tion and the role of art in social
change.
A special opening for the exhibit
will take place 5 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday
at the Nebraska Union.
"Central America week is being
coordinated locally by LASCO and
Nebraskans for Peace.
