The Menctechmi by Plautus Refreshing, Delightful Comedy Now Playing at Kjer Theatre By BRENDA SCHNEIDER Woman's Editor The fastest moving and most delightful production of the season, The Menaechmi by Plautas, is now playing at the Earl S. Kjer University Theatre. The play will run through Wednesday evening on the campus of Wisconsin State Claire. The story centers around twin brothers who are separated in early childhood. A situation comedy develops out of one brother's search the other.

The two, Menaech- mus of Epidamnus, played by Thomas Davel, and e- naechmus of Syracuse, played by Bern D. Jacobson, have the misfortune of being identical twins. Menaechmus of Epidam- nus has the double misfortune of being married to a woman who is played by theatre veteran Lynda Stygar. Since Menaechmus finds his home life and love life quite boring he becomes in- volved in a romantic affair with Lovey, a courtesan, played by Kathy Black. Miss Black deserves double plaudits for her performance since she was hospitalized and underwent surgery Monday and was on stage for Thursday night's opening performance.

The humor of the 1 a which is termed as a "freewheeling, colorful farce" by its director grows as the twin from Syracuse appears on the scene. He is mistaken as Menaechmus of Epidam- nus and creates all kinds of situations for his twin brother. The comic relief is also brought, out by the Sponge, the companion of Menaech- mus of Epidamnus. The part is played by Mike Weiser. Sponge is concerned with only one thing: food.

He'll go to any lengths to eat and finds the table of Menaechmus the best in the countryside. The funniest character in the play and the one the audience applauded the most was the father-in-law of Me- naechmus of Epidamnus, played by Donnie Burke. He stole the show with his gyrating actions and mannerisms. Not only is the play itself entertaining but the setting is especially intriguing. During most intermissions the audience usually leaves their seats but during- this production most people stayed behind to watch the kaleidescope of color on the curtain.

During the opening of the show and during the intermission a projector shoots an array of multi-colored lights on a curtain which has been painted a series of different colored panels. The twirling lights from the projector create a psychedelic effect. The set, itself, is quite simple and is the homes of Menaechmus of Epidamnus and Lovey. J. Peter Coulson directed the play and James G.

Schoen designed the set. Costumes were designed by Wayne R. Wolfert, technical director. Tickets can be obtained by calling the Kjer Theatre ticket office at 834-2061. Jo-Ann izabeth Reed Weds Robert C.
