I WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT

When Betty signs up for a summer timeshare at the beach with her
friend Trudy, she is looking for some time away from her stressful life in
the city. Once Betty arrives at the beach, however, the peace she has
been looking for is nowhere to be found.

Betty’s roommate Trudy breaks her promise “not to talk too much,"
hastening the arrival of several colorful guests. This not-so-family-
friendly bunch includes Keith, a shy, homosexual serial killer who keeps
a collection of various body parts and hat boxes; Mrs. Siezmagraff,
Trudy's mother and "emotionally anarchic" landlady; Buck, who acts
like a lustful frat boy; and Mr. Vanislaw, a flasher and friend to Mrs.

For the next two weekends. sum~
mer is back with a humorous
vengeance.

Starting tonight. I‘K‘s theater de
partmcnt will be performing "Betty‘s
Summer Vacation." a play by (‘hristo-
pher Durang.

"As [)urang said himself. it is a
’screwball comedy.” said theatre
sophomore Jesse Payloyic. w ho plays
Trudy. Betty‘s 28—year«old. childish
and “emotionally desperate" room~
mate. who's looking for someone to
spend her summer vacation w ith.

"Basically. it is a funny show that
will keep you laughing until the Very
end." Pavloy'ic said. “Who doesn‘t
love to laugh?"

Nancy Jones. the director of the
play and professor of acting move—
ment and direction at UK. described
"Betty‘s Summer Vacation" as an oftl
the—wall comedy with elements of the
"dark and absurd."

The play is set in a shared house
where nine complete strangers dressed
in colorful. exaggerated clothing haye
gathered together to spend the sumv
mer at the beach. They are all an»
aware of the obstacles the summer en—
tails. such as personality clashes.
Jones said.

The action takes place in a liying
room scattered with furniture and con~
taining the mysterious doors,

"(The doors) will make it exciting
and surprising." Jones said, “It has
some farcical elements to it.”

Jones said the main point of the
play is to make light of America‘s
love for the celebrity. the popularity of
reality television and the 24—hour
news cycle.

“(The play) makes you question
yourself and our obsession with the
celebrity." Jones said.

Durang wrote the play in 1999
when the Menendel Brothers and
Lorena Bobbitt trials were coy'ered
extensively on major media net-
works. and Jones said the subjects of
the play are still pertinent eight years

"We didn't need to change or up-
date the play." Jones said. “(Durangi
puts tthe trialsl in context."

l’ay'loyic said she likes the way
that Durang puts these serious matters
in a "comedic light."

“I don‘t mean to take away from
the severity of the matters." Payloy'ic
said. “Comedy is inst something I find

(ioixo 150R SECONDS

easier to relate to."

Jones said the play has three mys-
terious \oiccs that the audience can
bear but never see on the stage. acting

"If we are doing our job right.
then the audience should find them»
selyes laughing at things they haye
ney er laughed at." Jones said.

Upcoming plays:

"The Tempest"

as a way for Diirang to add some
crude humor to his play.

"There is an element of mystery
inyoly'ed. and all I can tell you is (the
play) is a little bit bawdy at times. but
