| The Francis Marion
University Theatre's next production of the 2000-2001 season, to open
February 21 and run through
Saturday the 24th, is Bob Randall's comedy hit, 6
Rms Riv Vu
(Six Rooms River View). The N.Y. Times called 6
Rms Riv Vu
"a Broadway comedy of fun and class.... Two people playing out a very
vital
game of love, an attractive fantasy with a precious tincture of truth."
A vacant apartment
with a river view is open for inspection by prospective tenants, and
among them are a man and a woman, Paul and Anne (played by Jason
Abernathy and Aubrey Phillips), who have
never met before. They are the last to leave and when they
get ready
to depart, they find that the door knob is missing and they are locked
in.
Since they are attractive young people, they find each other
interesting;
and the fact that both are happily married juxtaposes their mutual
delight
in each other's company against their moral struggles as to what could
happen
during their confinement.
