Farming, thought Walt Wing
field, was the answer.
It sounded so good to a refugee
from the high-pressure world of
industry. He could see it all, the
fresh air, the restful pace, the
simple life.
And so Walt, the hero of “Letter
from Wingfield Farm’’ which
comes to Blyth Memorial Hall
Saturday night at 8 p.m., bought a
100-acre farm in Persephone
Township to farm the old way. The
hilarious results have made “A
Letter From Wingfield Farm’’ a hit
play for actor Rod Beattie of
Stratford over the last couple of
years. The play has had two
successful runs at the Grant
Theatre in London and this summ
er was at the Huron Country
Playhouse in Grand Bend.
Beattie proves his versatility as
an actor in the one-man play by
quickly switching from one charac
ter to another as he recounts the
interesting people Walt meets in
his first year as a man of the soil.
Playwright Dan Needles tells the
story through a series of letters to
the editor of the Larkspur weekly
newspaper.
“Dan Needles has much the
same gift for gentle comedy as
England’s James Herrvott of All
Creatures Great and Small, said
theTorontoSun. “Beattie spins his
yarns with tremendous charms. He
also plays the offbeat neighbours
with affection and authenticity.’’
Letter from Wingfield Farm is
the first of the Blyth Festival’s
adult fall-spring series. Tickets are
still available through purchase of
a “maxi-package’’ which includes
four events for $25 including
popular singer Valdy; Anton Kuer-
ti, classical pianist; and the
musical Pump Boys and Dinettes
from the Charlottetown Festival.
There is also a mini-package with
any two of the events for $16.
Individual tickets for Letter
From Wingfield Farm are $10.
Reservations can be made by
calling the Festival box office,
523-9300.
