Let's just say that while I couldn't help but funny thing happened to me when I saw a laughing, the feminist in me was ready to throw play last week. Despite my general dislike vegetables at the stage. Given that the only female of the script, I still managed to walk away character with a spine is a total bitch, the moral of impressed with UVSC's production of "A Funny the story seems to be that women have no necessity for intelligence as long as they are "lovely" Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum." Keeping in mind how little the actors had to (a theory which is summed up quite poetically in work with, the collective talent truly was excep- one of the first songs in the play). And to make tional. Hats off to Shea Potter as Pseudolus and matters worse, "loveliness," as it turns out, has quite the price tag. Holly Harris as Domina in particular. Now I'm not saying the play was bad; although It is painfully obvious that the play was written I didn't necessarily love the writing, the lack of by not just one, but three men. How else could a Assistant Life Editor A script revolve solely around young lust, bad marriage, and the complete objectification of women? (Not to mention some very worn out jokes involving courtesans, cross-dressing, homosexuality and love potion.) And while I'm being cynical, variance in the music left something to be desired. But again, the actors made up for this brilliantly, using physical comedy to enhance otherwise redundant songs. The bottom line is that if you're looking for witty dialogue, phenomenal music or anything resembling political correctness, save your money. But the play is worth your time if for nothing else than a good,cheap laugh.
