BY DEBBIE RANNEY
This Foreign Land was the
opening production of the
Blyth Summer Festival and it
is continuing to draw audi-
ences. And well it should.
The play offers little vig-
nettes of just what it must be
like to come to a new
country, to try and find a job
- made twice as tough ',if you
can't speak the language:
Writer Patricia Mahoney and
cast members of This For-
eign Land have captured the
essentials of problems, frust-
rations, and happiness of
living in a foreign land.
The play evolves around
immigrants from three
countries - Holland, Poland
and Germany. When the
immigrants arrive in Canada
they find things not quite as
rosy as they have been led to
believe. The Dutch family
find a rough train trip to
Montreal and even worse,
they have to spend a night in
a Montreal jail as no other
rooms are available. Sam
Malkin plays a young Ger-
man who has wanted to come
to Canada for a better life
and finds instead that no-
body will hire him. Here Mr.
Malkin gives a penetrating
insight into the attitude that
Canadians sometimes seems
to have toward people from
other countries who can't
speak English.. Seanna
McKenna• gives a convincing
performance as his girlfriend.,
uncertain of their future in a
new world.
The Polish mother and son
upon arriving in. Canada find
that the father, who has sent
for thein, is sick. Later he
dies and the son, dramatic-
ally played by Richard Bud-
zinski, expresses frustration
at being left alone in this
strange new world. But his
mother.)ably played by Anne
Anglin,points out to him the
freedoms he has in Canada
that he would never have in
Poland.
Although the play makes
one aware of the sometimes
tragic situations that can
happen to strangers in a
foreign land, it also has its
funny moments like the
scene where the young girl
tells her boyfriend her
mother wants her to go work
at the turnip factory at Blyth.
And the way Mary Ann Coles
funnily pronounces Blyth it
sounds like, she's about to
throw up. One more humor-
ous reference is made to
Huron Country when a father
(well played by Layne Cole-
man) asks his son where his
brother goes all the time.
"Go, where does anybody
go - Clinton," replies the
youth.
The play starts off in the
early fifties and ends up in
1979 and shows how much
values have changed be-
tween the younger and older
generations.
In one 1979 scene a father
explains to his father whylhe
is giving his son a car for his
18th birthday. He tells his
father that on his 18th birth-
day he gave him respect, he
is giving his son a car and
that perhaps in the future his
son will buy his boy a
spaceship.
The play once again shows
the fine talents of director
James Roy and leaves one
thinking just a little more
about all fine and different
cultures that make up this
country.
