Forum continues its run of two one-act plays: ELEGY FOR A LADY by
Arthur Miller and THREE WOMEN by Sylvia Plath through May 26th. The two
plays dramatize the psychological struggle within individual
consciousness from a male and female perspective. Miller confronts
morality and mortality from a male viewpoint, through dialog with a
female "persona." Plath utilizes verse monologue to represent three
facets of herself struggling with conception, birth, loss and identity
in an often hostile universe. <br><br>Fran Heller describes the work as <span style="font-style: italic;">“Enigmatic, expressionistic and elusive”</span> and
together with fellow theatre critics Christine Howey and Roy Berko note the performances; <span style="font-style: italic;">“Fine acting…with moments of sheer beauty” </span>although, Ms. Howey criticizes the plays as<span style="font-style: italic;"> "less than a sum of its parts.”</span> Cleveland playwright Molly Hagan, writes more specifically; <span style="font-style: italic;">“For
THREE WOMEN, the words are the real stars…Plath’s verse does not
disappoint…The poetry passes quickly, but for Plath admirers the effect
can be sweet.”</span> Berko writes;<span style="font-style: italic;">
"Miller is noted for his meticulous choice of words. Due to the
unnatural flow of language in ELEGY FOR A LADY, one has to question
whether this is an experience of surrealism rather than a journey of
realism.”</span><br><br>The productions feature: Dana Hart & Ursula Cataan in ELEGY; Ursula Cataan, <span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 100%;">Kristen Levy and Katrina Melanie Walker in THREE WOMEN.</span><br>Performances:
