Arts and Entertainment The Western Carolinian 8 Thursday, October 2, 1986 Review by Andrew Dawkins Editor-in-Chief One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest It is not an easy task this business of reviewing a theatrical production. In the case of the play One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest the job was compounded by two things: One, I've never fancied byself a reviewer, or a critic even. And two, the production was being performed by my peers, some of whom I've had the pleasure of working with :on a past production. The big question I asked myself was: How can I distance myself and therfore become an effective reviewer? It wasn't an easy task. My litmus test for actors, especially those I know personally is: Am I able to sit back and see and feel the characters each actor is portraying. Or is it the actor himself/herself that I see in front of me on stage? If i'm able to seethe characters, and not be distracted by the "noise" of the actor himself/herself, then I feel that that actor is being effective. Several actors passed the litmus test on opening night of the University Players' production of Dale Wasserman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The play, based on the novel by Ken Kesey, and directed by Donald Loeffler - Head of the Speech and Theatre Arts Department, with set design by Tim Wood, and lighting design by Richard Beam, is in two acts, and is set in the day room in the ward of a state mental hospital. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is, in essence, a story of the struggle between two very strong characters: Randle P. McMurphy, the latest addition to the ward, played by Patrick Williamson, and Nurse Ratched, the head nurse, played by Phoebe Hall. Both actors performed with energy and drive. They gave themselves to their individual characters with such abandon that the audience couldn't help being caught up in their struggle to be on up on the others. They literally bounced off each other, with superb results. In fact, the audience looked forward to the next entrance of both these performers after each departure from the stage. McMurphy, with his .aid back, boyish charm and strength, and Nurse Ratched, with her brute energy were great. The opening pace was just a tad slow on opening night, but it picked up as the play evolved. The uniformed wardens or aids, played by David Parker and Brett Lawson needed to be just a bit stronger in their individual performances. Since they are two of the first characters on stage and therfore set the tone and pace for the rest of the production, they could have been tighter in their acting. Timothy Bolick gave an intense portrayal of an Indian patient, Chief Bromden. His movement were very natural, his silence eloquent. As he opened up during the course of the play, he more than adequately captured and presented to the audience the essence of his characters. My one contention here isthat Chief Bromden's monologues, his prerecorded talks or messages to his dead father were sometimes too rushed and so one had some difficulty hearing and understanding what was being said. Let me digress a bit here and say something about the technical side of the show. The set design complimented beautifully the mood of the play. Commendations must be given the designer, Tim Wood, and the production crew responsible for putting it together. The lighting, costumes and makeup produced, and reflected ♦he changing time, and the changing of moods of the characters without attracting attention to themselves. This made for a smooth flow of action on stage. Back to the characters. The play is not only about Resident McMurphy and his struggle with Nurse Ratched. The other characters are engaged in their own internal and/or external battles. Some notable performances included thos of Philip Auton who played the bispectacled Cheswick. The instant Mr. Auton came onstage he was Cheswick. And he remained uninhibitedly Cheswick, played by Philip Auton, is the center ot attention in a scene from the University Players' production of Dale Wasserman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. From left to right are Dale Harding, played by Jamie True; Martini, played by Eirol Tillman; Randle P. McMurphy (standing), played by Patrick Williamson; Scanlon, played by Brttt Corry; and Dr. Splvey, played by Shelly Hopkins. Cheswick until he left the stage at the end of the play. Britt Corry helped carry the play along rather nicely with his effortless portrayal of the old man Scanlon who was hell bent on making a bomb to blow up the world. He was a shining example of the actor not producing "noise" that would interfere with one accepting as real the character he portrays. Jamie True, who played the rather effeminate, male patient Dale Haring was another noteworthy instance of the actor giving way to the character he is asked to bring to life. Mr. True's most convincing piece of acting came in Act Two when he made his way toward the nurses' observation station and stood in front of the sliding glass windows, either looking at his reflection, or at the male aide standing inside. The male aide then chased him away with the wave of a hand. Mr. True's subsequent reactions reminded me so much of patients I had observed while working in a state run mental intitution. Suffice it to say, his acting was utterly convincing as he showed his confusion, fear, and perhaps inner longing. He had several other strong moments, but this stuck in my memory because he made this part of the play very real for me. Lloyd Rachels protrayal of the character Ruckly, who was given a frontal labotomy deserves praise although he only uttered one phrase throughout the performance. Mark Warwick, who played the young Billy Bibbit, was most convincing in a scene in Act Two just after Nurse Ratched caught him in a compromising position with Candy Starr, played by June Cagle. Billy was destined to lose his virginity with the help of Candy Starr, a lady of questionable virtue, and friend of McMurphy. In this scene Billy betrays McMurphy, at the prodding of Nurse Ratched, of course. The frightened stuttering, insecure, mentally disturbed young man Warwick protrayed came vividly to the fore. Errol Tillman, who played Martini, turned in a good performance on opening night. His character came to life in certain scenes. The one McMurphy had all the others pretend to watch the football game on television. Carol Cloud, who played Nurse Flinn; June Cagle, who played Candy Starr;Edna Moore, who played the Technician; Tonya Smith, who played Sandra; and Shelly Hopkins, who played Dr. Spivey all turned in good performances. My one criticism here, however is with Hopkins. In a particular scene in which she goes through the motions of explaining the purposes of intitutionalization to McMurphy, who could have made her delivery a little less obvious than the recited ritual she knew it was. All in all, it was a good opening night effort. The direction was clean, the actors moved on .stage in a smooth pattern. It was an evening spent in the pleasant company of a bunch of cuckoos.
