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. TI-$ ORVSSELS POST AVOOST S, 1981 Tommorrow Box will surprise you
