The second production of the University Theatre season will be All in the Timing, David Ives's collection of six short pieces, opening in the Cellar Theater Nov. 11. All in the Timing captivates and entertains by combining a mind-stimulating exploration into the nature of language with a pumping, comic heart. Ives demonstrates both that our speech is often an inadequate means by which to express our thoughts and desires and that it is, in the end, our only real hope.
Humans eventually do connect, despite the roadblocks of language.
Talkative chimps will eventually write Hamlet. Critics describe these plays as enchanting and perplexing, incisively intelligent and side-splittingly funny. 4 p.m. 265 Park Hall. Sponsored by Center for Humanities and Arts. Scholar, poet, environmental activist and cultural critic, Turner is Founders Professor of Arts and Humanities at the University of Texas at Dallas and visiting scholar in comparative literature at UGA this week.
