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.
