Contemporary, classics: from friend to foe hen the applause died W down, and the lights came up, the audience left the chapel surrounded by a sense of the seriousness of commitment. A Man For All Seasons, by Robert Bolt, portrayed the conflict in the life of Sir Thomas More, Lord Chancellor under King Henry VIII. More, torn by a decision between loyalty to the king or loyalty to God, chose God and was killed for it. The character of More was played by lohn Russell, senior, who communicated the con- flicts between More and Cromwell, senior Craig Tavani; and More and his friends the Duke of Norfolk, sophomore Gregg Detwiler, and Richard Rich, junior Mark Kelton. Much of More's homelife was exhibited through the efforts of Renee Allen, so- phomore, as his daughter, Margaret; sophomore Julie Campbell as his wife, Alice; and sophomore Bruce Stanton as his son-in-law, William Roper. An entertaining scene between Henry VIII, played by instructor David Smith, and More helped the audience make up its own mind about the worthiness of the king. His asinine conversations with More and his family, his pride and arrogance, all kept the audience sympathizing with More's decision to oppose the king. The glue that kept everything together, however, was the character of the Common Man, portrayed by John Huffcutt, sophomore. He told the story through the eyes of More's steward, the boat- man, the innkeeper, the jailor, the juror, and the executioner , by on-stage costume altera- tions. Throughout, the Com- mon Man's mercenary attitude and witty comments lightened the serious scenes. Other characters were Cardinal Woolsey, played by sophomore Alan Smith; Signor Chapuys, played by junior Cameron Pace; Chapuys' at- tendent, played by freshman Jeff Wortz; a woman played by sophomore Missy Wemett; the Archbishop of Canterbury, played by senior Victor Force; and the musicians, Janet Bruner, sophomore, and Dan Shigo, senior. The play was directed by Smith and man- aged by Kathy Gabbard, sen- ior. i e III!
