Play Achieves Dramatic Effect By Incongruities Between Acts By MARY MALCOLM The physlcists, presented last weekend by the Grinnell Players, began with a deceptively simple first act taking, in typical Dur- renmatt form, it grotesquely shocking twist thereafter, The performance DI the start- ling second act took me by wind as an impressive and highly dra- matlc departure from the kind of floundering hallrsuccess achieved in the first. The script itsell provides an ambiguous, ironical farce in the first act as the foundation of an entirely ditlerent kind at drama in the second. The Physicists, as it finds expression in the second act, is a powerful, almost over- stated comment on the useless sil~ Allen FRESH 1’ FROM OUR OVENS THE TASTY PASTRY ualion ol sane man lit the hands of insane society, bent on destrny~ ingilsell. The dichotomy and total ab» sauce of continuity between hrs: and second act is intentional and effective. It demonstrates the au- thor’s almost too simple concern with the normal appearance or a very sick world. We cannot ask the director to instill something in a play purposely omitted by the playwright, so Denms Rich deserves rather more credit than criticism tor the abrupt change in the tone of the acting between these two acts. Nevertheless, it is difficult {or fire audience to make this quick switch as confidently as the cast does. The second act seems tn build up info climax filler climax. Not satisfied with a single high point. playwright, director and actors feed me flames until the audi~ ence's newes are at a breaking point. It the strain on the audience is lel‘rific, it is small compared with chat on the actors. The four characters in the final portion at the last act—played by Richard Roehlk (MDbius), Bonnie Tinker (Doctor Van Zhand), Theo Le- maire (Beutler or “Nawion”), and James Arieti (Ernestl or “Einstein”)—bear up brilliantly under this strain, The final Iilles are too intensely dramatic to be done in a mediocre way: either they tail miserably or they suc- ceed beautifully, These four a- chieved something akin to great. ness in the final performance. The {act that I am inclined to lump them into one unit indicates that they functioned so. As a member of the audience tiist and a critic second, I found it un- natural to take them separately and dissect gestures and speech, The more versatile and well-do fined characters, by the gilt of script and superb acting, were those portrayed by Miss Tinker and Raehlk. Both demonstrated a dramatic range and maturity promising for the Grinnell Play— ers, since they are freshmen. Stepping hack into the very different kind of job done in act one, i realize that I reacted more as critic tlhan audience, and justly so. There was some poor acting done, coupled with opening night’s nervous slips and sturterings. Even the outstanding Tour or the final act floulldered somewhat here. As tor the others, one tended rather to wtnce whenever they opened their mouths, because of the unhappy combination of ear- nest over-acting and clumsy in- congrutty. Marsh, Hersh Give Recital Tomorrow Two Lenoir Quartet members— Violinist Peter Marsh and pianist Paul Hersh—will give a recital {0‘ morrow night at s in Roberts Thealre.
