Suffolk University's Theatre Department presented its annual Spring Showcase with two plays; Very Savage writ­ ten and directed by Theo Goodell and Tout Compendre, C'est Tout Pardonner written and directed by Caitlin Kenney. Family, friends and feUow students filled the tiny studio theatre to watch performances that ran from April 12- 15. The first and very abbreviated play. Very Savage, is about a brother and sister, Kingston (Joseph Jellie) and Ramona (Christina Watka), who are trying tocope withtheir father's suicideas well as sibling rivalry. As they argue over gin and orange soda and whois a savage and who is a barbarian,the mental instabilityof this duo is evident. The set was simple, only a couch and a desk served as the main props. The light­ ing focused on the two actors and only at the end was it dimmed and diverted to show a silhouette of their hanging father. The only music to accompany the act was by Leonard Cohen despite Ramona's requests to hear "Pink Moon" by Nick Drake. Writer and director Theo Goodell has written threeother plays for Suffolk's Theatre Department and Very Savage is Kristin Morreii- Journal Staff the second he has directed.

It is said in the cinematic world that to make a very good suspense the film director has to catch the spectator's attention from the first frame to the last and after that weave in twists and surprises in the story­ line. This is exactly what the director of the movie, Gregory Hoblit, and the screenwrit­ ers have done in "Fracture." Hoblit, who scared us with his thrillers "Fallen" and "Frequency," has created a \vorld where nothing is what it seems and everything could change in just a second in "Fracture."
