Fantasticks Provokes Laughter and Tears A mood of fantasy and tenderness was suggested by the nostalgic tunes and romantic scenes in the spring play, The Fantasticks. A parable of love, The Fantasticks told the heart-warming story of a young couple whose fathers pretended to feud in order to draw the young people together. A bandit for hire, mock rape and an obliging wall contributed to the theme of the play. Produced by the Arion players on the nights of April 18 and 19, The Fantasticks provided the audience with an evening of enjoyment.
