East Orlando or tmllm by LAURA BUNDY Theater critic Like the faction that swears Shakespeare should be treated as literature rather than drama, there are also the die-hard period puritans that find any resetting of the Bard's works artistically objectionable. Last year, the Orlando-UCF Shakespeare Festival provided an out standing argument to that school of thought with its beautiful and intelligent • production of The Taming of the Shrew, set in tum-of-the-century New - Orleans. The brainchild of OSF artistic director, Jim Heisinger, the resetting of Shrew helped to clarify sections of the Elizabethan text (which can seem muddy to modem ears), as well as sensitively illuminate the prick1y, but ultimately very loving, romance between Petruchio and Kate (too often · dismissed as politically incorrect or offensive.) OSF's current production of the early Shakespeare comedy Twp Gentlemen ofVeronaho~ to achieve the same kind ofartistic success, again under Helsinger's direction. Set in a day-glo 1959 sitcom world, the production is all leather jackets, sorority girls and puppy love. ~ .. According to program notes, Hel~inger was seeking "a time period that was as young and innocent as the play." Additionally, in a Future interview last year, Helsingerexplained the' 50sera,reminiscentofTheAndy Griffith Show, would create more sympathy for the impulsive actions of the play's young lovers, especially Proteus, who betrays his best friend and - girlfriend. The new setting of Two Gents also moves toward what may be a (.'., more acces8ible form of Shakespeare. hnagining Shakespeare as men in doublets talking to skulls, reluctant theater-goers may be more intrigued by . a production that has more in common with Grease than with Hamlet. That fact, however, doesn 'talways work in favorofTwo Gents, which is unfortunate because the production is approached with such detail, humor and enthusiasin. J]ie '50s motif is found in every aspect of the show: the inventive and functional set, the light-hearted costumes, the music (perhaps no Shakespearean song can be as enjoyable as this version of "Who is Sylvia?"), even the pre-show entertainment. In fact, the pre-curtain antics are someofthebestinTwoGen!S,notsimplybecausetheyaresowell-performed (four stars_ to Jay T. Becker), but because, unlike so much of the show's doo wop atmosphere, they don't distract from the language of the play-which is, always and forever, themostirnportantreason toseeandloveShakespeare. For example, early in the show, Julia is discussing the pros and cons of potential boyfriends with her maid, in her pink room full of records and stuffed animals. Although girls throughout time have no doubt wanted romantic advice, it seems terribly odd to listen to the maid discuss the virtues ofone "knight," while on the wall hangs an Elvis poster and a ''Verona High" pennant Suddenly, Shakespeare's words feel out of place in his own play. • Some of the show's antics assist in the telling of the story, such as the u5e of the disc-jockey character to narrate changes oflocale _within the play. Others, like the spit-handshake sealing Proteus and Julia's faithfulness, highlight the characters' youth. However, for too much of the play, these additions - such as references to local personalities or corporations-seem .. ::::..- . gimmicky ratherthan relevant, and audience members are faced with the fact that what they see and what they hear cannot seem to agree, a problem that never plagued the twentieth-century Shrew. One thing the production makes clear is that a Shakespearean clown is funny in any era; it is oµr great luck that this show foatures two of them. Servants to Valentine and Proteus, Speed (Tom Paitson Kelly) is a smart alecksodajerkandLaunce(MarkBrown)isagasstationattendantforwhom nothing goes quite right. Kelly and Brown display excellent comedic timing and classic voice characterization-especially Kelly, whose vocal sty lings will remind you of wise-cracking Nathan Lane. Launce's monologues with Crab are enough to send an audience into tears oflaughter. Making the most of their hysterical lines (and adding a few zingers of their own), the two have as much fun cracking up each other as they do the audience. The leads also excel. Eric Hissom and Mark Rector, as Proteus and Valentine, respectively, give energetic performances, full of physical com edy that, although sometimes distractjng, is both studied and carefree. Kelly (;;ollins Lintz is delightful as Sylvia; in her hands, the mannerly sophisticate i$hlsodown-to-earth,sincere,andfunny.RichardWidthisperfectlypolished andspoiledasThurio,awell-tannedbrainlessKendollwithhiseyeonSylvia. \ The highest marks must go to Suzanne O'Donnell, an OSF veteran whose artistic triumphs include last season's Emilia (Othello) and Kate (Shrew.) Her Julia is the most real character in the show, offering frustrated, heartfelt, touching monologues in the second act. O'Donnell brings a youthfulness to her character without resorting to cartoon simplicity, and her scenes with Lintz's Sylvia exhibit great "gal pals" chemistry. • Everything about this production of Two Gents is done with utmost professionalism and attention to detail, creating a completely whimsical (if busy) world for the show. Yet the problem is this: no matter how young the playwright at the time, no matter how innocent and youthful the themes, Shakespeare's works are all better than Father Knows Best, and to treat Two Gents like a sitcom is reductive. There are, however, far greater theatrical wrongs than to be reductive, and Two Gents is certainly an impressively mounted production as well~ a lot of fun. Be sure to come early to catch the pre-show, and you' 11 be more comfortable if you bring a blanket or pillow.

April 11, 1996 f•5 'Those Darn Impulse Buyers' An Extremely Tiny Novel hy David Swarlz Jr. "Is your mailbox rusting? Does your little red mailbox flag not stand quite as proudly as it once did? Do mischievous vandals tonnent you by taking their frustrations out on your mailbox? If you answered YES to any of these questions it's time to stop by Big Ed's Mailbox Emporium. Yes, Big Ed's Mailboi Emporium (previously known as Obese Ed's Mailbox Emporium before Weight Watchers helped out) has been devoted to your mailbox needs since 1989 (when we were simply known as Chubby Ed's Mailbox Place before that nasty law-suit declared that we could no longer call ourselves Mailboxes, etc.). In any case, Big Ed's has the mailbox for you. And for the serious mailbox buyer, join our mailbox club. Buy ten mailboxes and get the next one for half price! Stop by our store today (unless today is Sunday, in which case stop by our store tomorrow, except for when it's Saturday). We're closed Sundays. Bye." "Go~, I hate cheap radio commercials," Steve munnured to himself as he drove home after work. Wait a second, he thought. Sure I bought a mailbox just last month, but who's to say that one will last? Did I buy a quality mailbox? It's a Ronco Mailbox/Fettucini maker. What if it breaks? What will I do then? I should have a few backup mailboxes just in case. I should go to Big Ed's. "I NEED A MAILBOX!!!" Steve screamed at the top of his lungs. 16 He slammed on the brakes and made a quick U-turn. He sped through town and weaved in and out of traffic. "Move it! I'm buying a mailbox!" he shouted at cars he passed. Finally he arrived at his destination. It was greater than anything he could possibly imagine. It was better than Disney World. The monstrosity of a building was shaped like a mailbox. A huge, glorious mailbox. He was awestruck at the fascinating sight. He went inside. People with shopping carts overflowing with mailboxes passed him in the isle. A store employee greeted him. "Hi sir, can I help you with something?" the employee asked. 'Tm looking for a mailbox or two, but I'm not sure what kind," Steve said. "Oh, well that's perfectly natural for a novice mailbox buyer. The mailbox tour will begin in three minutes if you care to join," he suggested. Steve decided to take the mailbox tour to familiarize himself with the technological advances in the field of mailboxology. "Good evening and welcome to Big Ed's Mailbox Emporium," the tour guide said. The guide spoke of intriguing mailbox lore and folktales. The large mailbox tram rode through Mailbox Land where hundreds of robotic dolls sang "It's a Big Ed World After Al1." Finally, the tour ended with an exciting overview of the Big Ed's favorite mailboxes. Steve saw life-sire mailboxes of Dick Clark that operated like PEZ dispensers which were sure to give any tracheotomy patient the creeps. He saw mailboxes with gun cabinets for the disgruntled postal worker to keep his favorite weapon. He even saw mailboxes that gave the correct time and temperature when opened. After the tour concluded, Steve purused the store. "Wow! Big Ed action figures!" he shouted with delight. Steve pushed a couple of kids away from the· shelf. "Cool! The whole collection! There's Big Ed on horseback! There he is in his clown costume next to P.T. Barnum's old mailbox! One day I'll have the entire set." Steve turned around. "Oh my God! It's Big Ed! It's really him!" he shouted. "You're my- You're my hero, sir," Steve began to hyper-ventilate. Big Ed had that effect on most people. After all, he was a God in the world of mailboxes. People loved him. He had mailbox groupies. "I can't believe it's really- really you!" Steve's face became red. He collapsed. Big Ed whipped out his i;nailbox shaped walkie-talkie. "Send out the paramedics immediately," Big Ed commanded. "Good thing we've got mailbox police and paramedics on hand around the clock," Big Ed said to the nervous onlookers. The mailbox first-aid station nursed Steve back to health and he was able to go home the next day. As usual, he listened to the radio on his long drive home. "Does your coffee maker make good- I mean really good - coffee? Does your coffee maker come with a ten year warranty? At Don's Coffee Maker Warehouse we take the guesswork out of buying coffee makers." What if I bought the wrong coffee maker for my coffee-making needs? Steve thought.
