A Miracle: A full evening's play, and not one four-letter word!

By F(^\NK WAGNER Islander staff writer

That's right! There is not one four-letter word in Mark Twain's Diaries of Adam and Eve. Adapted and edited by David Bimey and directed by Ralph Elias, the play opened last week featuring the Pirate Playhouse company at the J. Howard Wood Theatre. Instead, you have —4ri place of the seemingly ubiqui- tous four-letter words — a masterful presentation of the English language that will keep your mind constantly amazed at witti- cisms, similes and comparative values.. Director Elias has chosen to rely on a bare-bones set that is a neatly enclosed Garden of Eden with a woodland background. Added to this there are several quite usable bits of make-do fur- niture and props. : Eve's method of seduction may have been the apple, but for members of the audience it is certainly the delivery of Twain's humor that brings them to a standing ovation. Could it be that plays that exemplify graceful and clever use of the English lan- guage are once again being acted? If so, I'll be eternally grateful to to Managing Artistic Director Ralph Elias and this small troupe of actors. . - .. Blias is indeed very fortunate to have a actor of the caliber of Robert Schelhammer on whom to place his concept of Adam. Schelhammer wears the mask of confusion well and also seems more than willing, in a most logical manner, to share the marry new words, situations, and simple happenings. Adam's self- assuredness is amazingly pompous and when he's wrong, he still thinks he's right.. Amanda Parke's Eve seems to strive for that quality known as "Everywoman," and I'll just bet she'll be much closer to it by the time The Diaries of Adam and Eve closes. Performance schedule: 8 p.m. Wednesday through Amanda Parke as Eve, and Robert Schelhammer as Adam. Photo/David Meardon. Saturday and an early curtain (7 p. m.) Sunday evenings. General admission seating is $13. Please call 472-0006 for reservations.
