"It's not really going to be dis- ruptive though, because in reality, nothing anything any of them are doing matters because the zombie apocalypse is going to come and all of them are goingcto get wiped out if they aren't prepared," said LSA junior and Zombie Master Doug Fischer. "There's no such thing as safe. Only safer." New University Productions show tackles Valentines and violence alike By DANIEL CARLIN DailyArts Writer Now that Valentine's Day has passed, it finally seems kosher to lay off the romanticism and chocolate. However, Armsand love will the Man still be in the air tomor- Tomorrow at row eve- 7:30 p.m.,Friday ning, when andSaturday University at 8 p.m. and Productions Sunday at 2 p.m. will present "Arms and Lydia Mendelssohn the Man" Theatre at the Lydia Tickets from $10 Mendels- sohn Theatre. "Arms and the Man," one of George Bernard Shaw's most famous plays, is set in 1885, just as the Serbo-Bulgarian War is ending. Raina, a Bulgarian, is engaged to a hero of war, Sergi- us, who leaves for battle. While Sergius is away, Raina finds the Serbian Captain Bluntschli hid- ing in her bedroom, begging for refuge - a man more romantic than aggressive. When Sergius arrives home, both men are under the same roof, and Raina is forced to question her beliefs, ideals and heart. The play focuses on the romantic and idealistic notions of war and love. "There is a big transition occurring in the world when the play is taking place," said Music, Theatre & Dance senior Paul Koch, who plays Sergius. "We are moving out of the. romantic age and heading into the 20th century." Ironically, Shaw wrote this comedy as an "anti-romantic comedy." It's akin to the day after Valentine's Day, when many people, after the exces- sive explosion of romantic emo- tion from the holiday, would rather nullify love. In "Arms," Shaw wanted to highlight the themes of war and not have a "happily ever after" conclu- sion. In fact, the play's title even comes from the opening lines of Virgil's "Aeneid," the famous Roman saga that glorifies war and heroism by men. . Putting aside all that is red - blood and heart-shaped choco- late boxes alike - the play acts as an interesting social com- mentary about the cognitive development of a host of themes in society. "Class struggles, war, romance-versus-common sense, status of women, institu- tions of marriage," said direc- tor and MT&D professor Philip Kerr. "(Shaw) says a lot of cut- ting-edge thought for its time and for all of those issues." Kerr reminds audiences that the production is focused on the play and text itself - he describes the set as "attractive" and almost "toy-like," though it still retains a fairly stripped- down essence. "I think the ideas and char- acters presented within the play are easily accessible," Kerr said. "You are dazzled by the language, but it is easy to understand." While the play is fairly wordy, the cast imbues contem- porary experiences into these characters. MT&D junior Mar- got McGrath, who plays Raina's mother Catherine, explains that in a scene when Sergius returns from war, she brings into her performance the memory of the excitement that occurred when Obama won the 2008 election. "People were jumping around and literally scream- ing and dancing in the streets," McGrath said. You can use con- temporary ideas and things that you've experienced yourself to understand that same mental- ity." "Arms and the Man" pro- vides complexity on modern day issues such as love and war - making the play more apropos than ever. Though the play was written over a hundred years ago, the struggles between chocolate and ammunition con- tinue. JUSTIFIED From Page 5A embark on a routine track-down of a sex offender, which leads to the introduction for this season's big bads, the Bennett clan - the region's weed-growing kingpins - comprised of the quietly ruthless, 180-proof, apple pie-swilling Mags (Margo Martindale, "The Riches") and her three sons. Jeremy Davies ("Lost") plays one of these kids, a gimpy, surprisingly vicious-for-his- scrawny-figure maniac. And while it's nice to see Davies back on the tube, he has yet to learn the art of enunciation and all his dialogue comes through as barely audible whispers. The addition of these color- ful characters is welcome, but it only worsens a problem evident throughout the first season. "Jus- tified" does a wonderful job of developing Givens and a pocket- ful of the more important antago- nists, but every other secondary character has nothing to do but stand around as fodder for Givens to bounce his jokes off of. All these new inclusions mean even less time for development of crucial persons of interest who have already been around for an entire season, like Givens's boss, and especially his partner - an African-American woman who could spark a capti- vating study of race relations in the American South, but instead is only given a few lines in the premiere to mention her discomforting status in thatasociety. Otherwise, the premiere is "Jus- tified" at its nerve-racking and laugh-out-loud funny best, setting off a series of intriguing myster- ies that will gradually unearth throughout the season - why in tarnation Boyd Crowder is blowing up mines, for one. There's only room in this town for one show - with a script as lethally effective as a six-shooter, first-class direction and great per- formances of great characters, it has to be "Justified."
