Patron* of thu Pocket Playhouse should
be prepared the last show featured
somersaulting Parisians..« tors yelling from
the audiem e. angry women throwing ted
dy bears and an unidentified male dancer
tapping and flapping in a leopnrdskin
bathrobe during s< ene changes.
"It's the most fun you can have with the
ater." said Melody Hates, whose original
play. The Devil Hide* a Huffy premiered
at Pocket Playhouse last weekend. "It's a
chance to do .1 lot of innovative stuff "
Halos absurdist espionage play was one
of four presented by the student-run P<* k
et Playhouse in the 72 seat theater on the
ground floor of Villurd Hall
Pocket Playhouse started sis years ago
under the name "Theatre -t to" tier ause it
sponsored late-afternoon plays Three years
ago the organization adopted ds i urrent
name and (.hanged curtain time to 5 p in.
Admission has remained the same $1
That's right — for |ust one George Wash
ington. theater enthusiasts can watch their
friends, roommates and lovers don new
i ostumes and personalities for a weekend
(assuming they don't see it for free other
wise). Por.kel Playhouse often draws
r.rowds from its partir ipnnts' fans.
Mill h Darby, a senior arvhitacturo major,
until! to Pim ket Playhouse for the first time
because tns friends were performing. " They
told me it would tie off-lieat, and tliey were
right.'' he said "I would tome again, even
if I didn't know anyone '

MOVIES
l)o not even attempt to mis
take what you are about to read
for PC.
Indecent Proposal is a misog
ynistic mess of a movie that no
iame local reviewer seems to
have the brains, halls or basic
critic’s instincts to bury.
Allow me.
9 1/2 Weeks and Fatal Attrac
tion direst or Adrian Lynne's lat
est is truly lousy and it doesn't
take PC goggles to see this.
If you've seen the ads. you
know the plot. If you've seen
Honeymoon In Vegas, you've
already paid for the plot. Des
perate newlyweds go to Vegas,
hook up with a rich guy who
wants newlywed wife, and
INDECENT PROPOSAL
Raview by D. Lee Williams
Rating:*
newlywed husband loses new
lywed wife (o rich guy. But
Lynne’s bootlegged story and
botched script beg o lot of
answered questions: What dri
ves husband (Woody Ha nelson)
into his jealous frenry? Who!
drives wife (Demi Moore) into
rich man’s (Robert Redford)
arms? What drives director
Lynne to wuste 28 minutes of
perfectly good film on perfect
ly neediest exposition?
Propanaf s ruptured storyline
is like an LTD bus ride up and
around Hendrick's Park —
bumpy, uneven and bard on the
bowels.
And. ulus, the storyline is
where Lynne forces in bis own
patented brand of motion-pic*
lure misogyny. Bored with por
traying his female leads as
either the happy masochist
(Kim Basinger to Mickey
Kourke in 9 1/2 Weeks) or sad
sadist (Glen Close to Michael
Douglas in Fatal Attraction).
Lynne shamelessly serves up
Moore as simple whore. A
