the verandah, as they are
from reality.

Gone With the Mind, by
first time playwright Robert
Stellmach, concerns Rose
(Christine Jastrzembska) and
Harry (Dwight C.
Dutkiewicz) superficially or-
dinary types. She’s a PR
‘business woman’ and fan-
tatic old movie buff (she’s
seen Gone With the Wind
about 200 times). Harry is an
electrician when he needs
money to pay the bills, but
his main occupation is World
Champion Scrabble player.

What Rose and Harry have
in common is that they've
each sublimated their sexuali-
ty into their respective pas-
sions, hers for old movies, his
for his Scrabble, so that when
they do come together
(sometime between acts one
and two) the result is a
chaotic intermingling of
Scrabble, Clark Gable, etc.

The first half of the play,

which sets up the tension, has
much keener humor and is
offbeat rather than bizzare.
But by the second half, all
normal social intercourse is
at an end and the audience is
left to follow the minds and
fantasies of the two
characters on some fairly
strange trips. These manage
to bring in all kinds of bad
movie cliches and scenarios
through Rhett and Scarlett
on the verandah, right, up to
Rosemary’s Baby.

The play is much funnier in
the first half, but in the se-
cond half Jastrzembska
(Rose) and Dutkiewicz
(Harry) are able to show off
the strength and versatility of
their acting skills.

The play takes place in a
wonderfully designed set by
John Chilton. Gone With the
Mind continues at Presenta-
tion House Tuesday through
Saturday at 8:30 p.m.
