Free Theatre's uphill battle
Brendan Behan loved anything that made
beer stronger, women looser, old men
warmer in summer and cooler in winter, and
everyone happy.
Free Theatre will be presenting Behan's
music-hall play, The Hostage, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday in the Hungry Id at 8
p.m.
According to Paul Baker, co-director with
his wife Jo, the play takes place in a seedy
whorehouse and shows what is happening in
Ireland today, and during the past 800 years.
UNL campus where it put on its first show,
FDR-LSD Freakout.
Since that time Free Theatre has put on a
large number of productions, always for
free, but asking for donations if the audience
could spare the change.
Free Theatre has expanded. It, moie than
any other organization on the campus, has
given directors, actors and technicians a
chance to widen their theatrical experiences.
At the same time it has provided
entertainment for the; college
lorry
ubert what can I say?
Behan spent eight years in prison for his
Irish Republican Army activities, and he
shows his dissatisfaction through The
Hostage. The play is about loyalties and
shows that no matter what side a person is
on, he'll lose.
Free Theatte was formed about two and a
half years ago and has been fighting an uphill
battle since then. Evicted from its original
theater-home because of restrictive Lincoln
building codes. Free Theatre moved to the
audience. According to Baker, Free
Theatre is in the process of incorporating.
By incorporating, it hopes to receive
government grants which will help
financially.
Free Theatre has been around for a while
and it's progressed simply by having the
energy, devotion and guts to try something
new and make it work. It's time people
recognized its hard work and paid Free
Theatre some attention. It deserves it.
