Fools
continued from page 5
the history depicted in the script
provides a modern parallel to to
day’s globalization.
“We tried to channel it through an
antiquated art form,” he said.
Theatre arts major Jasper Patter
son said the vaudeville’s tone re
flects the new world’s naivetg.
“The reason we chose it was be
cause it had innocence and a
grotesque beauty to it as well,”
he said.
“This Ship of Fools” has no con
crete plot, but Schmor pointed out
recognizable threads throughout
the work.
He said one of these centers on
“folly — how we both scold and
celebrate our excesses and igno
rance, how these are relevant to
the founding of the United States,
and in many ways develop into a
kind of cultural schizophrenia
about innocence, frivolity, and
‘fun’ taboo and eccentricity.”
“I think in this country, for ex
ample, we have a special relation
ship with greed and war that is
ridiculous — worthy of ridicule,”
Schmor said. However, he added,
“But maybe ‘theme’ is too serious
a term for such a frivolous enter
tainment. See, I am hoping that
the show doesn’t package some
thing lovely and contained like a
‘theme’; I am hoping each member
of our audience will be entertained
— what ‘themes’ they take away I
hope are their own.”
Besides the vaudeville style,
Hanley said the fact that the pro
duction was devised by the stu
dents makes it unique.
“There are no preconceptions
of what the show was made to be,
so no one can tell us whether it
works or not,” Hanley said. “No
one has done this show before,
and no one will do this show again
the same way.”
Schmor agreed.
“The performers, first of all,
have real ownership of the materi
al,” he said. “They are not just ser
vants to rhetoric or interpretative
delivery systems.”
Hanley said the biggest challenge
involved in making this kind of play
was balancing ideas and egos.
“There are no lead roles in this
show,” he said.
The result of this cooperation is a
production that is both hilarious
and sad, both light and tragic. There
are also several huge surprises
throughout the duration of the play,
but it would be a travesty to reveal
these prior to opening night
“It’s as funny as it is intriguing,”
said Hanley. “If you want to be en
tertained, you will be entertained,
but if you want to be looking, there
are plenty of messages within.”
Perhaps this play is a fitting
choice for the University Theatre’s
1,000th production, symbolizing
theater and humanity’s simultane
ous journey — after all, aren’t they
one in the same?
“This Ship of Fools” shows May
30 and 31, and June 5 through 7 at
8 p.m. in Robinson Theatre, locat
ed in Villard Hall, with tickets
priced from #5 to $12. A June 1
show at 2 p.m. will be a benefit
matinee for junior Noah Smith,
who was injured in a car accident
in December.

deserve to be ripped up and used
as tenting material for the home
less. Another “American Pie” se
quel? Someone sold their soul to
Satan for that one. But there are a
few promising efforts. My pick is
“Shaolin Soccer,” a film that
broke box office records in Hong
Kong and is finally getting distri
bution here in the United States.
Unfortunately, the release is
through Mirimax, which apparent
ly edited the film for content and
changed the name to “Rung Fu
Soccer.” Dammit.
The highlight of my summer
has certainly got to be the planned
Aug. 15 release of “Freddy vs. Ja
son.” Two of the biggest franchis
es in horror cinema are coming
together at last, and my lord, is it
going to suck. You can count on
that. And you can count on the
fact that I will be there opening
night — I’m such a media-whore.
As it is, August seems to be the
month for horror movie fans.
“Jeepers Creepers II” is also on
the docket for Aug. 29. If director
Victor Salva can make the sequel
as good as the first hour of the
original, this could be something
worth waiting in line for.
Does September count as sum
mer? For the purpose of this col
umn it will, simply so I can men
tion “Desperado II: Once Upon a
Time in Mexico.” William Dafoe is
the bad guy, Johnny Depp is a
CIA agent, and Antonio Banderas
is a walking Guns & Ammo adver
tisement. This ought to be worth
while and a nice way to get your
blood pumping in preparation for
the fall.
See you at the movies.
