I'.nlerlainmont Writer Last night, a man died because his convictions were so deep. He died because there was no place mi- him in the world he knew. He died because he could not make those around him understand what lie felt for America. lie was a h ue Amei iean. not (he kind who waves flags or dies not knowing ihe leasons for his own death, hut he died wilhout wasting his life. The leirible part is that this true American wasn't really Ameiican at all. but Greek. Out of the death of Polios, came a play of doubtless monumental quality, perception and feeling. That play is called "Walk Into the Wind." The final scene from Karen Malouf's new play, "Walk Into (he Wind", about Greek immigrant mine w orkers. Exemplified Feeling Robert Antrim as Papa and Use Perl as Mama were outstanding! Moth had their characters so firmly firm-ly in hand that we wore not even aware that they were acting. They exemplified the feeling of the "old country", of "their" Greece which they loved so dearly, but realized deeply and secretly inside that ihey could never return. I felt that perhaps Pol) Bogdan-off, Bogdan-off, as Stavros was miscast because be-cause we were led to believe that although Stavrous was a turncoat to his people, lie was a stronger personality than Mr. Kogdanoff played him. Also, at times Phillip Hansen as Taylor lost the feeling of continuity of his lines. The set, costumes and lighting design were by Le Strasburg. whose deft touch added greatly to the success of the production. Everyone should definitely make plans to see this superb play, as its future history will undoubtedly be brilliant. "Walk Into Ihe Wind" plays nightly through Saturday at 8:00 p.m. in the Babcock Theatre. I'niveisily Student Walk Into Ihe Wind" was written writ-ten by Karen Malouf. a student at the I'niversity of Utah. I feel that we arc indeed very lucky to have a play of this quality come from our own studentbody. Miss Malouf's Mal-ouf's depth of scope and her amazing amaz-ing handling of ihe dialogue in which difficult passages rely entirely en-tirely on her ability to transcribe Ihe feelings and thoughts of the Crock immigrant indicates ability much beyond her years. Director Ralph K. Marge Its ob- iously saw Ihe potential of Miss Malouf's play and moulded Ihe characters to an unbelievable intensity. in-tensity. His use of force, movo- ment and at times voilence in the play drew the audience into a lirm grip and held them there until un-til the play's end. Actors Superb The actors of the play were also on the same superb level as the writing and directing. Stephen |
