CABANISS Staff Writer Workshop Theatre performed the world-premiere of Weigh Me A Pound Of Fire Thursday night to an appreciative audience. In style and structure, this play I resembles some of the work of the late Larry Shue. Like The Foreigner and The Nerd, the play places a character in unfamiliar circumstances, surrounded by a group of unlilcely heroes. Rawls's one-act episodic comedy primarily concerns Emily, a "30-blank" woman returning to school in an effort to find passion in her life. Through a creative writing assignment, Emily learns the passion she seeks is already within her, but the road to that knowledge is bumpy and very I funny. Emily is played quite well by Christie James. James allows Emily's quick tempo to relax to work comfortably into the comedic moments, although she does have a problem with externalizing her body movements. Emily's roommates at Mrs. DeWinter's boarding house provide the foils for most of the play's comedy. Most of the characters are written in an overly generalized manner, even given the genre; but the few moments of this play which truly fail are because of the actors and director rather than the text.

The befaoom scenes between Errw^ly and Hemingway (D. Scott PeeTc^son)? with whom Emily explores one aspect of passion, suffer front a lack of actor communication.! Although' in general they succeed/in maintaining the clarity and momentum of thik play, both actors ride rougjjshod o^er the possible subtleties of the pi*low fights and the tenderness of pc*t-coital bliss. The best supporting work in the show came from A\imee Erwin as Mary Beth, who ha$ some important relevations of hey own concerning the nature d?f passion. Learning that passion is not simply carnal lust, but also has its own sharp edge, is a hard lesson for Mary Beth, and Erwin refuses to allow the material to over whelm her. / Emily learns from all these uy/ likely heroes that the search/Qr passion is itself a sign of finds what Locke observe^ ^ ago ? that "a body at resQfords us no idea of any active/ wer to move, and when set in n/^on^ ^ ^ rather passion than an ac?tion in it."
