Shakespeare
can be fun
by Timoth

The Collegian
He's back! It's Shakespeare!
Kathleen Campbell has decided to
produce one of his many plays,
Two Gentleman in Verona. Don't
run and don't hide, this is going
to be an interesting experience.
"I picked this play because it
is very light. It's a fun, happy
comedy about young people. The
students here at Behrend can relate
to this play because many of the
experiences in the play are
similar to the ones students have
had."
She sites some of the
experiences as being away from
home and falling in love for the
first time.
Students will be able to get a
feel for the play because it will
be contemporary. It's going to
have casual modern dress, and
will not have an Elizabethan set
or costumes from that period.
Campbell says she is aware
that students are turned off by
Shakespeare, but encourages
students to give this play a try
saying, "This is an easy play in
which you can get to know

Shakespeare."
She will be doubling up again
in terms of actors playing more
than one role. Campbell thinks
it's more interesting for actors
and actresses to play the different
roles.
Campbell will also be
looking for people who arc
interested in acting as well as
willing to use their other talents.
Jugglers, clowns, dancers,
magicians, singers and many,
many other 'types of talented
students are encouraged to try
out. On an interesting note,
Campbell is also looking for a
dog. "The dog's name is Crab and
belongs to one of the characters,"
she jokes, "and the dog will
probably end up stealing the
show."
Auditions arc on Tuesday,
Jan. 28 from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. and
7:30 p.m.-10 p.m., and on
Wednesday, Jan. 29, from 3 p.m.-
7 p.m. She would like you to
come to the Studio Theater
prepared with a Shakespearean
sonnet. If you don’t, she'll
provide a sonnet for you to read.

The cast is rounded out by
several other delightful characters,
from the homeless bum who
expounds on the great things life
iias to offer to the nun with a
heart of gold and a mouth of a
trucker (what is this world

The script, from Aliens and
Total Recall writer Ron Schusett,
is sophomoric, contrived and
mediocre. Some of the lines are
terribly embarrassing. Director
Murphy lacks the imagination,
style and wisdom needed to make
a movie like this work he has
no concept of the word 'pacing'.

vehicles and sets for this film
should be "jacked" into another
line of work; here we have some
of the most unintentionally
funny designs to ever pollute the
big screen.
In summary, Freejack is
disappointing, utterly boring and,
at times, quite laughable.
