producing director, Allan Miller, about adapting literary works for the stage. This week, we want to let you know about Back Alley's performance of the D. H. Lawrence novella, The Fox, that is coming to Campbell Hall on Saturday, April 22 at 8 PM.

The Fox is the story of two women who are living a cloistered life on a remote English farm after World War I. One day, a young soldier comes to their door saying that, when he was a child, his grandfather owned the farm. He is befriended by the women and sets his sights on one of them, the stronger, more independent of the two, and successfully disrupts their relationship and their lives.

In this story of people's true natures, the thin veneer of civility and social dictates that shield them is stripped away as Lawrence's three characters are transformed by their fears and desires. Back Alley Theatre launched The Fox in the early '80s in Los Angeles and its popularity required a move to the bigger L. A. Stage Company and then a brilliant run off-Broadway. This year, Arts & Lectures is thrilled to participate in the revival tour of The Fox.

SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT SAY ANYTHING byjesseengdahl Doonesbury’s creator Garry Trudeau was recently accused byjesseengdahl of "using" AIDS distastefully as a vehicle for satire on AIDS paranoia.

Just who the heil do they think they are? On stage and on record, the equipment they play seems better put to use in building heavy machinery; buzz saws, large sheets of metal, battered auto rim s. They are the Beatnigs, and their upcoming show at die Pub Saturday night is one of die year's must-sees. Conventional wisdom holds that the Beatnigs' music would be so noisy and forbidding that only the most jaded listener would be able to endure. Uh-uh. Not with die Beatnigs. The sound that comes out of a Beatnigs show is far more human, and the use of unlikely machines as instruments makes their show dangerous, involving and thoroughly gripping, it is rock and roll as frenzied theater, and vice versa, in their theater, die Beatnigs give off strong political messages, swers Veronica’s plea for compassion with “Fuck me nowhere near the comfortably numbing politics of Tracy Chapman or gently with a chainsaw; do I look like Mother Teresa?” others of her ilk.

It uses a philosophical, scientific and humorous approach to show how stupid the philosophy, science and humor of society are. Satire is smart enough to know a vice like inconsistency is indigenous to man, so it never holds itself up to such lofty ideals. In one manner, it tries to have w m m it both ways, greatly angering those who can agree with its condemnation of just such ambition. Fqom Voltaire to Blue Velvet, making sick jokes about how terrible sick jokes are has been a dicey sport at best, and always controversial. Waters, who was working in a video store thinking he was “gonna write the greatest teen film, and Kubrick was going to direct it," teamed up with Director Michael BH Lehmann, whose USC film school graduate movie was Beaver Gets a Boner, a farcical nose-thumbing at the Trojan Lucas/Spielberg School of Feelgood, in which Beaver goes after a college scholarship to pay off a drug debt. These guys want to do one thing: push the tongue deep in cheek, then bite it off. The ending may be inconsistent to that ugly ideal, but a M in iu n V movie like this can indulge in humanism without making cheese. “It’s got that ‘what a cruel world so let’s toss ourselves in the abyss' kind of ambiance," but not always.
