'Heidi Chronicles' is long, but it touches timely issues
Anne Sutherland Special to the Kansan
I had thought about starting this review with a disclaimer apologizing for my lack of experience in reviewing, but then I remembered the words of a teacher from my one and only women's studies class — "Never raise your hand in class and then say 'I'm sorry, but I think . . .'" — and I decided otherwise.
THEATER REVIEW
"The Heidi Chronicles," which continues this week at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall, is a story of a woman who never apologizes. Through three decades of her life, Heidi makes difficult decisions about the way she lives. Firmly committed to the beliefs instilled in her during the consciousness-raising '60s, Heidi watches her friends give up their commitment to changing the world in exchange for the hedonism of the '70s and the greed of the '80s. True to her feminist/humanist beliefs, she never compromises herself to fit in with society's norms.
The play was lengthy at just under three hours, but it also was highlighted with excellent performances by Jennifer Bennett as Heidi, Carson Elrod as Scoop Rosenbaum, a lively cast of supporting characters and a particularly endearing performance by Scott A. McPhail as Peter.
The supporting characters composed a chorus that filled the gaps between scenes. These interludes were punctuated by music and headlines from the last three decades that brought smiles of recognition from several audience members and audible hums from a few. These interludes portrayed icons of popular culture ranging from a hippy orgy to a particularly well done "two-faced" 80s piece. These in-between acts gave a feel for popular culture but sometimes tested the audience's attention span.
In Heidi we find a humane heroine who is strong-willed yet vulnerable to moments of weakness. Her choice to pursue a career is poignantly juxtaposed with her lost opportunity to have a family. Heidi asks, "Why is it that what makes us a person is what keeps us from being a person?"
Why is becoming a superwoman an unreachable or inconsiderate goal for so many women? Why do successful women feel like failures because they don't have a husband and children?
Heidi wrestles with these issues, often falling back on the reliable support of her friends. It is through these friends, both male and female, that she is able to complete the circle of fulfillment so long unfinished inside her.
Playwright Wendy Wasserstein touches on an issue that troubles many women today and received both a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award for her insightful script.
Director Delores Ringer has done an equally commendable job in bringing such a touching and funny play to KU. In the words of Scoop Rosenbaum, "The Heidi Chronicles" gets an A+ for the cast, A+ for the crew and a B- for length.
The Heidi Chronicles' will be performed at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Crafton Preyer Theater in Murphy Hall. Admission is $8 for the general public, $7 for senior citizens and $4 for students with KUID.
