"The Imaginary Cuckold," the
play being presented this
semester by The Matchbox
Players, opened last Friday,
March 30, 1995.
The play is directed by Tony
Elliot. It stars Matt Milroth as
Sganarelle, and imaginary
cuckold. Abigail Greenberg
plays Celie, the one who starts
this grave misunderstandings
when she drops her locket.
Other principle players include
Ericha Hagenbuch as Sganarelle's
wife, Christopher Ruch as
Gorgibus, Celie's father, Kanova
Johnson plays Nicole, Celie's
companion, and David Stoehr is
Lelie, Celie's intended.
Additional players are David
Bridi in three roles as Valere,
Celie's suitor, Gros-Rene, Lelie
valet; and a fencing coach. Kim
Mcllwain also has three roles as
Sganarelle's wife's relative;
Villebrequin, Valere's father; and
the second fencing coach.
The play was written by
Moliere back in the 1600 s. The
plot of the play is fast paced with
unbelievable misunderstanding.
The set is made up to be a
town square in Paris, France, and
all the action takes place in the
square.
The costuming for "Cuckold"
is very old French with the men
in bog: coats awl tights, while
the women wear bodice clinching
dresses.
The play begins with Celie,
Nicole, Valere and Gorgibus on
stage. Gorgibus is trying to

locket that Celie drops and
Sganarelle sees her gazing at it.
He believes that the man in the
portrait is her lover.
To find out how the play
continues, you must go see it. I
will not give away any more.
The truly funniest part of the
play, I think, is the fencing
lesson. Sganarclle shows his
true colors, being a coward,
during this scene. He thinks he
can fight the mighty Lelie after
the lesson, and the action is
absolutely gut busting.
Matt Milroth's Sganarelle
reminds me of John McCrane's
Scapino from the fall 1992
production "Scapino". He is a
very capable physical actor, who
overemphasizes his emotions.
This make the play quite
enjoyable.
Another hysterical scene is
when Sganarelle is one stage
alone fighting with his honor and
cowardice. Honor is represented
in the back left window by Kim
Mcllwain and. Cowardice is
represented in the back right
window by David Bridi. The
mimic some of his quotes during
that scene.

Tom Hanks, the winner of the
Best Actor Award front last yeti'
("Philadelphia"), took home the
big' prize again this year. That
makes him only the sixth actor
Sandusky, Ohio (yes, actual
scenes of the town are used which
looks more depressing than our
own beloved town).
While home, Tommy's dad
(owner of Callahan Auto) tells
him that he is getting remarried
to Beverly (played by the ageless
Bo Derek). As a result, Tommy
is getting a brother -- Paul.
One of the better parts of the
movie is when Paul wants to do
something "dangerous and
exciting" one night, so Tommy
takes him on a fun-filled night of
"cow-tippin'."
Tragedy strikes when Tom's
dad dies and he has to save the
company from their competitor,
Mr. Zelinsky (Dan Ackroyd).
He does this is by travelling
across the country on a sales trip
with an employee, Richard
Hayden (David Spade).
As Richard and Tommy travel,
numerous things happen to them,
or rather to their car, that proves
Duct-Tape is amazing!
While they are staying at a
hotel, Richard notices a beautiful
girl about to take a swim in the
nude and urges her on quietly to
himself. He is interrupted when
Tommy comes into the room and
asks what it is he's doing.

accomplish this feat.

Jessica Lange for her leading role
in the movie "Blue Sky's."

Richard tells him that he is going
over road maps, but Tommy
doesn't believe him, for that
night he asks Richard, "What's
your favorite Rascal? Alfalfa,
Buckwheat, or SPANKY?"
This movie is about on par
with "Billy Madison." The
movie's takes on "Thelma and
Louise" and "Wayne's World" are
good. It is funny when they
travel, singing songs, such as
REM's "It's the end of the
world..", which comes out on the
fast part as "6 o'clock, 4 o'clock,
day-rock, da, da, uh, um..."
However, the endless fat jokes
pertaining to Chris Farley are
needless, disgusting, and
distracting from the general well
being of the movie.
The movie starts extremely
slow and the question of "and
where is this going?" came up a
lot during the first 20 or so
minutes. However, the rest of
the movie is good for only ONE
reason--the interaction between
Farley and Spade. You get the
feeling that they are enjoying
their script and live it to the
fullest--unlike on Saturday Night
Live, well because, on there, the
scripts stink.
