  • .man Theatre Dept. Presents 'Exit the King' Feb. 23-27 by Jennie Rumsey Staff Writer Fear of eternal rest is the subject of the Theatre Arts Department's production of Eugene Ionesco's "Exit the King." First produced in Paris in 1962, it is the most classic of his plays and has been compared by some critics to Shakespeare's "King Lear." "Why was I born if it wasn't forever?" asks King Berenger I from his throne room, surrounded by his doctor, his two wives, and his last remaining royal guard, who serves as the narrator to the audience. The play is of the absurdist genre; a term coined by a British Broadcasting Corporation drama critic in 1961, and is distinguished by its manner, ambiance, and license with language. Costumes and set decorations are a hallmark of Ionesco's plays, mimicking the extravagance of the circus and a revolt against existentialist intellectualism. The absurdist rejected language, logic, and traditional themes by creating plays with a hallucinatory atmosphere that commented on postwar complacency, alienation and the development of the atomic bomb. Ionesco wrote, "Exit the King" as a lesson to himself. The play can be seen as having two halves that are not of the same whole. This is due to the fact that while writing the play Ionesco was struck with a. severe illness that interrupted his work. Illness was a major theme in Ionesco's life, as was alienation. Ionesco was born in Romania in 1912. His family moved to Paris before his second birthday, after which his parents separated. ■ Throughout his life he was affected by his mother's loneliness. In his youth he lived for two years in a French country village where he found hope in the resurrec- Photo by T.K. Roberts Students in the Costume Shop work diligently to finish costumes. tion of the seasons. "Escape from definition and you will breath again," Ionesco once said, a statement formulated by his years in the country which were the foundation of his visual approach. Following on the heels of the Dada movement and the surrealist, Ionesco received harsh critical treatment at first, but by 1966 he was considered among the top playwrights of the day. Two of his earlier plays, "The Bald Soprano" and "The Lesson," have played consecutively in Paris since 1957. "Exit the King" is a comment on biological nationalism where the health of the King affects the health of the state. It is dream-like in nature. As the King's health fades characters begin to disappear from the stage. How will they pull this off? To find out, come see the play, which runs February 23-27 at 7:30 p.m. in Hoey Auditorium. Admission is $12.50 adults, $10 senior citizens and $5 students. f \ Qlfi}*' The Staff and Management of VALLEY FLORIST thank all our customers for their support during our opening week.

Leatherwood StaffWriter Always present during the formative years of the United States, African Americans faced the challenges of slavery and bigotry like no other people in recent history. When the Union Army was divided over why they were fighting the South, black men in blue uniforms served as a poignant reminder of a higher purpose than mere unity. Hasan Davis of Berea University brings to life one such man in a "living history" presentation of Sergeant Angus Augustus Burleigh, who served in the 108th US Colored Artillery from August 1864 to the war's end. Like most black soldiers, Burleigh was a fugitive from the slave states, but his career did not end with emancipation. A.A. Burleigh went forward in life, attending Berea University in the 1870s as one of the first freedmen to attain scholarly standing in the state of Kentucky. He did this during a challenging era of Ku Klux Klan terrorism, in which one of his classmates was brutally murdered simply for being educated. By Berea's 75th anniversary, Burleigh had served as the Kentucky Senate's chaplain and was the oldest surviving graduate. Hasan Davis brings this unsung hero of American lore to life on February 24, at 8 p.m. in the University Center Grandroom. Students and visitors are strenuously encouraged to attend this free event and support their national past. - Congratulations to these writers, who are featured in this year's Nomad Poetry Amy Heining: "Foretold" and "Have Fish, Will Travel" Crystal Olson: "Comforting Darkness" Donna Obrecht: "Night Paddle" Terri Spence: "Oak Street Waltz' Chris Boss: "Descant" Nick Winstead: "Rain" Aleksander Clark: "The Eyes of God" Jimmy Guignard: "Monday, 6 a.m." Jeremy Floyd: Untitled Aaron Long: "Howl Revisited" Fiction Shanti Jones: "Pulling the Plug" Danny Wall: "Hard Night in Jerico" Terri Spence: "Shooting Star" Nonfiction Christ Abram: "The Way Dad Loves Me" IMP PRESENTS With me Oqzz Poefs Society young Blood Cionston Oolinson Ann Will Butler UC CLUB I FeDrUQfV 20,1999 TlcketsOnSQlenouj For more info, ran 7206 or 74791
