DTUC's last play set to go

The grand finale production by the David Thompson
University Centre theatre department is Shakespeare's
lusty comedy “The Taming of the Shre to be
presented from April 11-14, at 8 p.m. in Nelson's Civie
Theatre.

First- and second-year theatre students will work
together on stage for the first time in this big cast
production, which will be an all-out, sumptuously
costumed, full-set’ piece designed to culminate a
memorable year of hard work and firm commitment by all
members of the theatre department.

“Ome of Shakespeare's most popular works, “The
Taming of the Shrew” is a fast-paced rip-roaring battle of
the sexes,” said theatre instructor Tell Schrieber.

“Katharina, a witty and resentful older sister, is
tricked and cajoled into love by her capricious and

His ploys to win her are in turn deliciously madcap
and mordantly comic. Her startling and very moving
change of character in the play's final scene leaves even
Petruchio astonished by her gentle depth and power,”
Schrieber said.

A series of sub-plots concerning Katharina’s

several suitors to win her, round out the events of this
celebration of love.

“The vital complexity and size of the role of
Katharina has been cherished by actresses for the four
centuries since it was written,” said Schrieber.

“Joan Hoffman and Janice Dunbar, both second-year
students, will hare the role in this production.” Michael
Pearce, also a second year student, will play Petruchio.

Well-known faculty member George Palmer, is the
director, and Norma Vecchio will once again perform
miracles in producing the elaborate Italian Renaissance
costumes.

So popular has been the theme of “The Taming of the
Shrew” that it was adapted in the 1930s into one of the
most acclaimed and successful musical comedies ever
staged — “Kiss Me Kate.”

“Starring the marvellous husband-wife team of
Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne, the musical became
one of Broadway's legendary events,” said Schrieber.

Filmed twice, “The Taming of the Shrew” gave two
other famous couples their chance at its brilliant sport: in
the late 20s Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Jr.,
and in the late 60s, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

ERIC ROBERTS

Hollywood's new star

BEVERLY HILLS, -€AL-
TFORNIA (AP)— WhealEric
Roberts turned down 23 col-
lege athletic scholarships to
study acting, his friends and
relatives thought he had
made a terrible mistake.
After all, he had been a
stammerer all his life.

But Roberts, 27, now ranks
as one of America’s most.
promising new actors. His
performance as Paul Snider,
the small-time hustler and
husband of Playboy centre-
fold Dorothy Stratton, in Bob
Fosse’s Star 80 nearly placed
him among this year’s Oscar
nominees.

The film itself has had
mixed reaction. Some critics
named it one of 1983's 10
best, others wondered how
Fosse became so fascinated
with a taudry story.

Roberts is a dedicated ac-
tor who rises at 4 a.m. each
morning to get ready for the
filming day, partly because
he likes to be, prepared,
partly to maintain control of
his speech impediment.

“J get ready to get ready to
get ready,” he said. “As long

as I am prepared, I have no
trouble with my speech. It’s
only when I'm talking with
strangers that I have trou-
ble.”

Born in Biloxi, Miss., Rob-
erts grew up in Atlanta,
where his father founded the
Actors and Writers Work-
shop in 1963. From the be
ginning, he seemed different.

TRYING TO TALK

“They thought I was au-
tistic until I was four years
old,” he said. “Thank God my
father was a bright person
who wouldn't allow me to be
placed in some home. He rea-
lized that when I kept stam-
mering, I just was trying to
say, ‘I want to go to the bath-
room.’

“My problem was that I
didn’t like to communicate.
And when I started commu-
nicating, I did it badly, and
that made me more self-
conscious. When my turn
came to recite in class; the
other school kids would
arr ‘Here's Eric!

g became an outlet
form me. As long as I had lines,
I could talk. And I learned to

be a fast study. I could learn
my lines faster than anyone
else.”

Eric began acting at age
seven in Atlanta stage pro-
ductions, both in theatre and
with troupes that toured the
city's poorer areas in a bus.

He also was a superior
athlete, excelling in cross
country and soccer.

“When I graduated from
high school, I had my choice
of 23 athletic scholarships,”
he said. “I passed them all up
to fulfill my dream of study-
ing at the Royal Academy of
Dramatic Arts in London.
When I went home, I asked
my father, ‘Dad, what doI do
now?’ He said, ‘You go to
New York and try to find a
career.’ ”

Roberts studied at the
American Academy of Dram-
atic Arts, quitting. in his
senior year. He played off
Broadway, then worked
seven months in the soap
opera Another World before
finding a star-making role in
his first film, King of the
Gypsies. But the film was a
bomb, and he couldn't find
movie work for three years.

HAD TO STUGGLE

Roberts admitted he had to
stuggle to rid himself of Sni-
der, who discovered and
promoted Stratton, then
murdered her and killed
himself when he appeared to
be losing her to success.

“I spent q lot of time in
Vancouver, hanging out in
Snider's old turf, stripper
clubs and small-time bars,”
the actor said. “I talked to a
lot of girls he had one-night
stands with. To them, he was

good people.”

Punk
queen
in movies

MEXICO CITY (AP) —
Grace Jones, the former
model who went from disco
diva to punk queen, is ma-
king her major motion pic-
ture debut in a role that fits
her androgynous, hard-as-
leather image.

She plays Zula, mercenary
warrior sidekick to body-
builder Arnold Schwarzen-
egger in the sequel to Conan
The Barbarian.

“I wanted to do films from
the very beginning, but I
wanted to do it my way,” the
model-singer-actress said in
an interview on the movie
set, filmed in Mexico City. “I
don’t think I should shock my
fans with a total change.”

For the m » Jones's
close-cropped hair is shaved
back from her ears, where a
line of red war paint marks
ber scalp.

Her costume is a revealing
leather tunic, and she wears
a spiked wristband on one
arm.

She described her char.
acter as “very cat-like, very
wild-like.

“I fight with a stick, not a
sword. It’s just very wild,
you know. I'm a hired killer.”
And she laughed. “I stay
more to the male side.”

Jones made a big splash at
the height of the disco craze
in 1977 with her first record,
the blunt I Need A Man sung
in a tough monotone.
