Video Review... CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:2 Last Holiday My only hope for Last Holiday as I sat down to watch it was that I would still be awake by the end. As the film began, something strange began to happen. I felt myself really enjoying it. Queen Latifah,who I had all but written off after seeingTaxi,is absolutely superb as a big store retail associate with dreams of becoming a chef , travel- ing the world and hoping that a special someone would ask her out. Her performance is instantly charming and believable. Sheis a woman who lives her life carefully, spends her money frugally and is always hoping that something or someone will come along to let her start living. Unfortunately, that something turns out to be a rare brain virus that is discovered after she bumps her head at work. She is given less than a month to live and, after moping about , she decides to throw her inhibitions to the wind and go for one last trip to a fancy hotel in Eastern Europe and do all the things she has dreamt about her entire life. Last Holiday is not a comedy, but it does have some genuine laugh-out-loud moments. It is not a drama, because it's not heavy-handed or sappy. It is predictable at times but that is easily forgiven due to Latifah's charming performance as well as the rest of the cast. Last Holiday is a delightful film that will leave you feeling happy. Laramie Project... CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1 Each of the 10 members of Eventide 's capable cast plays one of the Tectonic company, and each in turn portrays multiple characters. Shawn O'Neil shines especial- ly brightly, bringing genuine emotion to his depictions of Henderson; Aaron Kreifels , the UW student who found Shepard beaten and barely clinging to life tied to a buck fence outside Laramie; and others. Mary Chris Kenney is similarly affecting, most notably as Reggie Fluty, who responded to Kreifels' call to police, while Cat Wilson Hal- let, Mike Lemieux and Mike Mathewson also distinguish themselves. Director Ellis Baker gets maximum mileage from a minimalist set, with the cast repositioning folding chairs, benches and small tables to create courtroom , barroom and church. The spare scenery makes for apowerful contrast when, late in the first act , the image that became synony- mous with the Shepard story, the buck fence on a desolate , beautiful prairie, is projected on a screen at the back of the stage. A cameraman and two video monitors are used to great ef- fect each time the voracious , sensationalizingnational me- dia intrudes on a confused , emotional community as it tries to grapple with its sud- denlycomplex and frightening identity. The play's great strength is its unblinking acceptance of the diverse, complicated , all too human reactions to what is initially referred to as the Matthew Shepard "incident." Eventide does the script jus- tice, and deserves great credit for bringingThe Laramie Proj- ect to the Cape. The produc- tion merits full houses, both for its significance and for its quality. Eventide Arts ' production of The Laramie Project is playing on the Gertrude Lawrence Stage at Dennis Union Church Thursdays through Sundays through May 28.

Plagues, pover- ty, warring Indians, pressures from creditors , the battling great powers of England and France who could close down their settlement on a whim, shortages , and concerns for sons and daughters of various strengths and health. What a story, and it's all real. The first time we tracked down Nathaniel Philbrick of Nantucket , he was on his way to winning the National Book award for his first best-selling volume of American history, In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the New Bedford Whaleship Essex. Then came the second book five years ago,Sea of Glory ,mapping the remote oceans of the world , the story of the U.S. Explor- ing Expedition of 1838-1842, and now Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War, a big book written five years later. Philbrick likes to turn them out in five-year increments. As a saga of a sea voyage over little-known waters in a small ship (100 feet LOA) in mostly bad weather, May- flower is an arresting story of perhaps the most significant voyage in history since Noah's. No one has told it better than Nat Philbrick. The coming of the Mayflow- er is an event everyone knows a little about. What Yankee lass hasn't stirred up the cranberries in celebration of the first Thanksgiving and its legendary amicable guestslike Squanto and Massasoit. Never mind that Myles Standish may have had amusket trained on his Indian pals from under the table. In addition to the voyage and early days of the Pilgrims in Plymouth , the rest of the book deals with years when the English were settling in southeastern New England; rare times of goodwill,more of bravery; trying years, deadly as it becomes evident that the growing tide of settlers will rob the Indians of their land and lives and that the Pilgrim colony will lose the highest percentage of its men ever suffered by this country in any of its wars. The largest part of the book , two-thirds of its 450 pages, covers the 50 years after 1620. Both sides do learn to live suc- cessfully together in the New World , but war becomes a terrible impediment to their progress. Harmony and peace- ful pursuits give way to in- creasingly ruthless attacks on British farm houses and villages and the British match massacre for massacre. With the Indians torching and scalping and the Colonists beheading captives , the calm English leadership of William Bradford gives way to the warlike Benjamin Church, and old friend Massasoit's son, a hater of the British , gets his very own war named after him, King Philip's War, which had more deaths for its size than any other war ever waged in America. Everyone knows about the voyage of the Mayflower. Few have studied the Indian Wars that followed. Told by Philbrick , a thorough and perceptive historian , this is an important chapter in the American story.It deserves to be studied and written about even more. But it'sa sad story, the war that history forgot. Nathaniel Philbrick will sign his new book tonight at 7 at Barnes & Noble Booksellers at the Cape Cod Mall, Route 132 in Hyannis. May/lower...
