Virginia Woolf production succeeds grandly as student Babcock Honey, a mousey blonde whose drunken hysterics and intermittent shrieks kept the audience in hysterics was excellently played by Terasa Johnson. Flawless Performance Nick, played by Paul Workman, who played the title role in the rather unfortunate production of "The Mikado," showed his real acting ability. Paul's reactions, his sensing of the feelings of the dialogue made his performance flawless. These four people should be commended on their characters, because each was outstanding and, fortunately, not influenced by the Taylorburtonsegaldennisian movie version. The realism and intense feeling which was portrayed by the characters was often unnerving. Possibly the feeling of the Babcock Theater also added to the intimate feeling and sense of urgency. Mallory should be proud of the production and the directors at PMT should heavily consider the possibilities of another run of the play. More students should be able to see the production. Indeed there were only one or two small mistakes in the play, those being an interchange of phrases by Wilkinson and a rather slow dimming of the lamp on the bar in the third act. It would be unfortunate to conclude a review without praising Tom Ruud's costumes which were designed for Martha. Tom has designed other costumes on occassion for the Utah Civic Ballet of which he is a member. .."""""ajj"LWtl""J!'"JI 1 " '"Trn"r" .-.. ....... ....1..,r..i., ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '' , : 'V ' x I . ., V , j , rtJ k , : ( .

Although it was not part of the regular season, it was not advertised, it was not directed by a "professional" director, and it did not cost anything, it was a magnificently successful production! This play, seemingly clothed in anonymity, was Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," directed by Lawrence Mallory for his senior recital. The production was presented December 6 and 7 1968. Obviously hindered by the lack of funds for royalties, sets, costumes and advertising, one wonders how the play could have ever gotten off the ground. However, these odds were excellently overcome by assembling four of the most talented dramatic actors at the University. Leslie Groper, who played the part of Martha was no less than spectacular in bringing the violent emotional fervor of the Albee play to the Babcock stage. Conscious Realism George, portrayed by John Wilkinson, who gave a tremendous performance as John Proctor in "The Crucible" last year, gave the play a sharply conscious realism which was evidence by his "When I was sixteen and going to prep school" soliliquy. Above a scene from "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," the December Babcock production directed by Lawrence Mallory for his senior recital. The play starred Leslie Groper as Martha, John Wilkinson as George, Paul Workman as Nick and the part of Honey was played by Terasa Johnson.
