Play takes fun look at farming Brussels 4-H club organizes Intutnj GRACE JONES P Horror ]BOX OFFICE OPENS 7:00 P.M. SO B44 FRI. - SAT. - SUN. SEPT. 26 - 27 - 28 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. a dinerent set of jaws.
