New Canadian play proves winner at Country Playhouse
The term “winner” in two
different connotations best
describes the first per
formance of George
Robertson’s new play “Two
Below” at the Huron Country
Playhouse Tuesday evening;
two real “winners” meeting
in a play that by the
audience’s reaction was a
winner.
It was a close to capacity
crowd that didn’t know what
to expect, a feeling that was
shared by director of the
play Lynn Gorman, artistic
director James Murphy and
playwright Robertson, who
was in attendance.
The play which revolves
around the interactions
between a once successful
management consultant but
now a social exile and a fully
liberated woman who’s
fighting her own woman
battle against the male
chauvinist pigs of the world,
receives energetic per
formances from Heath
Lamberts and Terry Tweed.
The play which is the
Playhouse’s 1970’s selection
for its tribute to the decades
is what could be called an
earthy comedy, one that
pulls no punches as it suc
cessfully mixes two
phenomena of the 7fi’s: the

liberation of the female and
the attempt of people to
make some sense out of
today’s world.
Lamberts as Boris the
recluse, gives definition to a
character who is somewhat
twisted by his own ad
mittance, what-with his
strange in-house rules, his
relationship with a store
dummy and his habitation in
the bottom of a building
that’s being torn down.
Returning to the
Playhouse after a six year
absence, Ms. Tweed gives a
solid performance as Nettie,
the women’s libber who
assaulted a policeman and
who met Boris by climbing in
through his living room
window. She combines the
j right degrees of hostility,
vulnerability and com
passion to work successfully
with her male alter ego.
Trader Selkirk as the
police detective who was
allegedly assaulted by Nettie
gives a nicely overplayed
performance.
One of the best parts of this
play has to be the set by
Alistair MacRae which is by
far, his best of the current
Playhouse season.

Special effects are good,
such as the shaking of one

and the falling of a hunk of
plaster from the ceiling.
Considering it was the first
performance, the play was
surprisingly funny with only
a few lines failing to have
punch.
A minute that drew a
hilarious reaction from the
crowd was Nettie’s ..........

Council seek
improvement
at harbor
Ministry of tourism of

pressed” with a request
from Grand Bend council for
improvements in the harbor,
says Reeve Bob Sharen.
The officials met with
council representatives last
Tuesday at the request of the
village. The tourism officials
will now seek approval for a
feasibility study to be I
carried out. I
“I think the chances are
reasonably good that
something will be done for
the harbor, I’m reasonably ■
optimistic,” said Sharen.
Sharen said council would
like to see the entrance to the
harbor improved and
something done to gain extra
dockage space. He declined
to release any other requests
council may make.

every other line such as
Simon does. As one play-goer
stated during the in
termission “This play is not
as homogenized as
something that Simon would
do.”
While there are still a few
rough edges, Robertson has
the basis for a play which
can only get better with
time. It’s well worth a trip to
the Playhouse.

a two week run for the
