Entertainment The Western Carolinian Page 10 (continued) Thursdaay, February 2,1989 A Characterization of "Of Mice and Men" wl§ Ute^itew by Bill McEntire STAFF WRITER The novel. Of Mice and Men was first published in 1937 by John Steinbeck. The director of WCU's stage adaptation, Steve Ayers says, "This play is more than man's inhumanity, it is about man's need for companionship, family, and friends. It is als» about how fate can deny these needs." The various characters are rich in detail and imagery. Terry Neinhuis, English faculty, portrays Lenny. Dr. Neinhuis says of Lenny, "He is accesible, even with his shapeless face, bear-like body movements, brute-gentleness, and selective forgetfulness. Lenny is one of the most sympathetic figures in modern drama. His convincing childishness reinforces his relationship with George, the one thing he cherishes more than small cuddly animals." George, played by Colin White, makes Lenny see "The Dream." Colin describes George as a "drifter who is road- wise and jaded. He is cautious and purposeful, in fact, the only time you will see George drop his guard is with Lenny. Lenny and George share the dream even though Lenny's shortcomings contradict the dream." Ben Monroe, former faculty of WCU, enjoys acting and playwriting. He brings Candy to life as the old swamper who wants to buy into the dream. Dr. Monroe says, "Candy is trying to avoid dying alone, so he works his way into George and Lenny's dream in hopes of having someone to care for him in Of Mice and Men To Be Entered In American College Theatre Festival XXI Lord Byron's GOTHIC Nightmare by Ed Watson S!im(played by Ken Nagel), right, has an altercation with Curley (played by David Mulkey in a key scene in "Of Mice and Men." the end." Greg Jones as Boss is just that, "The Boss." David Mulkey plays Curley. David says, "Curley is short, mean, and over ambitious. He is the landowner's son and his wife represents children and the future. He doesn't love her; he loves the idea of her." Heather Pittillo portrays Curley's wife. Heather says, "She is smart and sweet. She is lonely and wants someone to talk to; her motives are innocent. She wanted to be a star but married Curley instead. The guys refuse to take her at face value. Her emotions are straightforward and she doesn't mean to tease anyone." Wayne Wilson plays Carlson. Wayne says, "Carlson is the epitome of meanness; he kills animals because it gives him a sense of power to do so." Ken Nagle plays Slim. Ken says, "Slim is gentle, has an element of kindness, lacks meanness." Jim Irvin plays Whit. Jim says, "Whit is 'the kid' and the bunkhouse is all he knows. He looks forward tb Saturday night and blowing his check in a cat-house." Charles Baldwin portrays Crooks. Charles feels, "Crooks is a very lonely person, kicked in the back by a horse, crippled, seperated by race. Crooks enjoys talking to Lenny and becomes jealous of George. Crooks is the bridge between the dream and reality." The Ranch Hands round out the cast. Played by Sean Parker, Tim Watson, Andy Lominac, and Tony Crawford, they portray real men, or what real men think they should be. by Bill Mclntire STAFF WRITER The WCU production of Of Mice And Men will be entered in the American College Theatre Festival XXI on Feb. 8,8:00 p.m. at Auburn University. It will be judged against five other productions from the Southeastern Region. There are 12 other regions with a total of 70 to 80 productions. Of these, 6 will be chosen to play in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Steinbeck's masterpeice is a showcase for the male talent of the Speech and Theatre Arts department. Heather Pittillo is in the sole female role. The direction of Dr. Steve Ayers is brilliant. This play crackles with intensity and action. From the opening scene by a river bank we travel through a Spartan interior of a bunkhouse and stable, then back to the river bank for the tragic climax. This is real theatre with real water, animals, fire and dirt, moving you to real laughter and real tears. Of Mice And Men will also be presented in the new Hoey Auditorium Feb. 3 and 4. Tickets will be $10 for adults and $5 for all students and groups of 10 adults or more. Weaving a web of mystery and fear, GOTHIC concerns the poet Lord Byron and his house guests: Percy Shelley, Romantic poet; Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein and wife of Percy Shelley; Clair Clairmont, Mary's half sister; and Dr. Polidori, Byron's biographer. Although Byron and Shelley may not be the most popular literary or movie personalities, GOTHIC recounts the events of June 16, 1816, and the very interesting lives of the famous English writers. Villa Diodarti, Byron's place of exile in Switzerland, is the setting of Ken Russell's drama depicting Byron's night of ghost stories. The motion picture begins with Percy Shelley (played by Julian Sands), Mary Shelley (Natasha Richardson), and Claire Clairmont (Myrian Cyr) arriving at Byron's (Gabrial Byrne) Geneva estate. Lord Byron and his party partake of landnum and begin a ghost story of their own. The characters, in their delirium, imagine and experience the creation of a seance. Through the stormy night Byron plays host to their wildest and most hated nightmares, prisoners of their drug induced imaginations. Byron is both the devil and kind host of Shelley and his companions. Like Goethe's Mephistopheles, Lord Byron welcomed his "willing victims" into their nightmare, he merely provided the vehicle. Throughout the evening, the party realizes that Byron is in control of their madness and is even entertained by their terror. The story ends with a strange awakening of the characters' minds. The script is excellently written by Stephen Volk and beautifully captures the vocabulary and attitude of 19th century Europe. Possibly surpassing the more than excellent script is the paramount cinematography. Directory of photography, Mike Southon exhibits great talent in filming GOTHIC and puts the enthralled viewer into Byron's nightmare. Southon's work is too incredible to describe, one must be captivated by the scenes themselves. GOTHIC captures and enhances the Romantic mystique of Mary Shelley's Frankenstien with the suspensful horror of Alfred Hitchcock. Viewers desiring optical stimulation of gorey scenes should look elsewhere, GOTHIC'S horror lies within the mind of the viewer, just as Byron's horror was all in his guest's minds.
