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 tact taken in Mrs. De|

Water's scene in which she is ti

plalying level in what is one of tiw
besmt written scenes.
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
