Vasey Theatre qpens its spring season with the production of Jules Feiffer's Little Mardcrs, a comedy which should provoke as much serious thought as it does laughter. Fcnr, to say that murders can be "little" suggests a large, and frightening, problem. Feiffer, known as a social satirist, uses A Major Ouestion? >*! the micrbcosm of a New York City family to illustrate the depravity of a society divor- ced from values and without law and order. Written in 1968, the play clearly lampoons the insanity of the 1960's in America — the years that saw the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy, the Vietnam War, and the "new" generation's attack on tradi- tional standards. It was a time when people ^P^ lost faith in institutions and in mankind As the play is no longer being performed in the context of the times in which it was written, its theme may be fost on those who had not experienced the chaos of the 60's. Perhaps trying to up-date the play so it could be digested by a 1978 audience, its director, Daniel Baker, gives it a natural- istic interpretation, instead of intensifying the author's satiric intenticm. He presents Little M orders as "a family picture album" showing "what happens between the pic- -am tures."
