Rivals Cl
. By DONNAN BEESON
Collegian Reviewer
Amidst light music, elaborate
sets,- wigs, a duel and extravagant
costumes, the University Theater's
production of “The Rivals,” by
Richard Sheridan, transported an
enthusiastic • opening night audi
ence back to the 18th century.
Rarely on the University stage
has such a ■well-integrated ■ pro
duction been witnessed Director
Frank Neusbaum had “alt crews
working on A-l “go” signals and
very infrequently did 1 they fail
him.
Sheridan’s comedy provides the
perfect vehicle for anything to
happen and most everythirig does.
One easily laughs at what, must
have shocked the drawing room
set in 1775 and sits back to enjoy
the antics. !
THE OBJECT of all the hilarity
is the vying for’ the hand of
Lydia Languish by several color
ful characters who think- they do
.not know each other. Attempting
to engineer the melee is fearless
Mrs. Malaprop, famed for, her
brilliant knowledge of what ap
pears in the dictionary, and de
fected because she has little “af
fluence” over her niece, Lydia.
' This overbearing woman who
sweeps around the salon with
the ease of a second Martha Wash
ington is played by Joanne Beegle,
.;who assumes the role as well or
better than she probably does the
minuet. Lvdia, who is overcome
halfway -through the play- when
• she finds out that the "arranged"
■ lover, is the one who she has
loved all the way along, also fits
jnto the salon quite well, but
vacillates in her enthusiasm about
it. : !
THE MEN in the play are by
all means the masters of the
farce and turn in good perform-
