As if leaving his wife and kids were not reason enough, I have another problem with Robinson's election- his insufferable arro­ gance. I did not think this was possible, but Robinson might be more selfish than Kobe Bryant. If the Reverend truly cared about the greater good of his church community, he would put aside his own self-interests and step down immediately. Given his selfish track record though, do not count on it any time soon. As he has already proven in the past, Robinson does not practice what he preaches.

By C. SPENCER BEGGS Scene Theatre Critic

Watching any Tennessee Williams play can be like pulling teeth. Williams' plays are marked by his characteristic long-winded, unnatural and obtuse dialogue that, when performed poorly, can send even the most enthusiastic and academic audience into a boredom-induced coma minutes into a performance. Fortunately, Notre Dame's Department of Film Television and Theatre's produc­ tion of Williams' The Glass Menagerie does a wonderful job of keeping Williams' text lively and captivating on stage. The Glass Menagerie is a psy­ chological portrait of a displaced Southern family living in 1930s St. Louis. The show is a self-dubbed "memory play" narrated by Tom Wingfield, the family's youngest son, who alternates between nar­ Above, Laura (junior Molly rating, participating in the drama and watching his memory unfold Topper) shows Amanda (senior before him.

manages to make Williams' chal­ lenging text plain and accessible to the audience. Juniors Molly Topper and Bryce Cooper fill out the cast and each turn in respectable performances as well. For all of its strengths, there are some aspects of Williams' text that that this production does not bring out as strongly as it could, espe­ cially in the motivations of the characters. The Glass Menagerie is not a plot-focused show, but one that makes the plot subservient to the unfolding of each character's past experiences, thoughts and feelings. Tom's "going to the movies" is often interpreted as a subterfuge for his exploration of his homosex­ uality and involvement in the city's gay culture - an interpretation the FTT show strives for as well. Conner occasionally hints at this with his body language, but it never develops further than that.
