The Tomorrow Box will
most definitely make you
chuckle, and perhaps make
you think.
The comedy, written by
Anne Chislett and directed by
Blyth artistic director Janet
Amos, opened July 28 and
runs in repertory until August
21.
The setting is now, near a
small village in rurual Ontario
on both sides of the generat-
ion gap.
Ivlaureen and husband.
Jack Cooper, who is thinking
of retiring, have been farm-
ing together for 40 years.
She's the silent partner and
seems satisfied with life in
the slow lane. He's not much
for talking either, but likes
being listened to and obeyed
quickly. Like an. Archie Bunk-
er amidst the corn and beans,
Joe Cooper, the son, is
fresh from university and
lives in a trailer near the
farm, He would like a hot
diner when he gets in from
the fields, But he loves his
wife. Alice. She hasn't the
time because she's bright,
beautiful and busy studying,
on the verge of becoming a
lawyer.
Lisa Graham is a big-city
lawyer. and Alice's sister, She
helps the hornet's nest hap-
pen to the Cooper elan when
she comes to visit, with
visions of women's liberation
dancing in her head. Lisa
learns that laws may be the
same everywhere but people
are different.
It's a lively mix of witty
characters, easy to identify
with, sketched with pep by an
experienced cast, If there is a.
moral to the tale, the produc-
tion doesn't hit you over the
head with it.
Anne Anglin as Maureen
will remain etched in an
audience's mind after the
play is over. Kate Trotter
(Alice), Diana Belshaw (Lisa)
Layne Coleman (Joe) and
Dean Hawes (Jack) fill the
other parts. Sets and cost-
umes are by Tony Abrams,
lighting's by Louise Guinand
and the stage manager is
Sarah Wakely.
Ms. Chislett the author, is
better known in this area as
Anne Roy, wife of former
artistic director James Roy
and a founder of the Blyth
Summer Festival. She also
wrote Blyth's opening offer
this summer, the acclaimed
Quiet, in the Land. Ms.
Chislett now lives in Victoria,
B.C.
The Tomorrow Box was
written near Blyth in 1979, It
was first produced at Lind-
say's Kawartha Festival last
summer. This January at the
Centaur Theatre in Montreal
the comedy was a sell-oat and
had an extended run. Actres-
ses Trotter and Belshaw
recreate roles they first play- ,
ed in Montreal for the Blyth
production.
