Rush Rehm and Kay Kostopoulos co-star in Stanford Summer Theater’s production of “The Lover.”

Stanford festival honors by Terry Tang playwright n 1962, while Edward Albee Harold Pinter was introducing American the- I atergoers to George and Martha, the dysfunctional spouses at the heart of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf,” Harold Pinter got British audiences intimately ac- quainted with Richard and Sarah. On the surface, the duo seems like the embodiment of sweet, late ‘50s domesticity; Richard works in the city while Sarah keeps house. Yet, they are oddly comfortable ad- dressing each others’ extramarital activities in the same civilized Eng- lish manner that one would talk about afternoon tea. But like the calm before the storm, it’s only a matter of time before psychological warfare breaks out. Now, 29 plays and 21 screenplays later, Harold Pinter’s multi-layered depiction of marriage and sexual politics in “The Lover” is the cen- terpiece of the Stanford Summer Theater’s (SST) program. To honor Pinter’s 75th birthday and his broad work as a poet, screenwriter, actor, director and political activist, SST is packaging three other short works, five film screenings and a commu- nity symposium into a Harold Pinter Festival that will run through Aug. 8. A theatrical extravaganza appears fitting for the Tony Award winner whose name spawned a new liter- ary adjective — Pinteresque — in the English language. Kay Kostopoulos, a lecturer and acting instructor in Stanford’s Con- tinuing Studies Program, didn’t think twice about taking on the role of a conservative, yet possibly des- perate housewife. Having taught “The Lover” in her classes, she knows full well what a challenging and meaty part Sarah is. “When you hear that she has a lover, it’s kind of a shock to the au- dience,” said Kostopoulos, who first suggested “The Lover” for the festival. “When she’s with her lover, she completely turns around.

less horizons of frozen tundra offering nature in its most primal state. “March” is an enthralling documentary of un- compromising charm and splendor.

Rated: G for great for all ages. 1 hour, 20 minutes.

— Jeanne Aufmuth Fantastic Four ✭✭✭ (Century 16, Century 12) Forget “The Incredibles” — the Fantastic Four are the true first family of superheroes. The dynamic team of Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and the ever-lovin’, blue-eyed Thing origi- nally hit comic stands in 1961. Now the crime-fighting quartet finally get the cinematic treatment they so richly deserve. Director Tim Story (“Barbershop”) offers moviegoers a different twist on the genre by empowering his “Four” with a perfect balance of well-timed humor and heart- pounding action. This entertaining ride may just clobber the box-office competition. Those unfamiliar with the Marvel clan will be brought up to speed quickly, as Story doesn’t waste time getting to the group’s origin. A strange cosmic storm grants five space ex- plorers unique powers. When they return to earth, their new gifts take shape. Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) can stretch his body to amazing proportions; Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) becomes a monstrous creature of solid rock; Susan Storm (Jessica Alba) can turn invisible and cre- ate powerful force fields; Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) ma- nipulates fire and the sinister Victor von Doom (Julian McMahon) controls electrical currents. While Reed, Ben, Susan and Johnny form an unbreakable bond, Doom seeks vengeance on those he feels are re- sponsible for his condition: the Fantastic Four. Michael Chiklis plays the Thing in “Fantastic Four.” The inspired casting is tremendous, although Chiklis and Evans steal the show.

OBITUARY ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Palo Alto Weekly publishes obituaries about people who lived in, or played a prominent role in, the community. Obituaries are written by staff writers, based on information provided by mortuaries and/or family members. Due to space limits and other reasons, we may not include all the information a family wishes. Some families choose to write their own memorial announcements, then purchase space to publish it.

The Classified Department handles funeral announcements for a small fee based on length of text. Photos may also be included. For information call 326-8210, ext 239 (Blanca) or email [email protected]
