unusual? This mixture forms the
basis for Paul Thompson's latest
production, Shakespeare for Fun
and Profit, which will be
presented at the Blyth theatre on
Tuesday, October 11 and
Wednesday, October 12.
The play was rehearsed in
Seaforth so there are many local
jokes and references. But Paul
Thompson also takes a satirical
look at the Stratford
Shakespearean Festival,
In Shakespeare for Fun and
Pzofit, the centennial committee
of Seaforth is stymied when its
exciting schedule of events
(including Bobby Curtola and the
Helldrivers) falls through. John
Earl Somers retires
(Continued from Page 1)
['trough rain and snow and
freezing hail,
On icy roads and mountain ways,
As faithful as on sunny days.
He serves some boxes much too
small
For packages - but that's not all;
Some are too high and some too
low,
No n ame's another mailman's
woe,
Folks cuss like blazes when
they've found
The mail can't make the idaily
round,
Bottom, farm implement dealer,
and head of the centennial
committee, decides to save the
day by putting on a play, aided by
a Wintario grant. He will save
Cardno's Hall, which is scheduled
for demolition; rescue the
centennial celebrations, inject
some "culture" into Seaforth,
and maybe even make a profit.
Bottom asksPeter Quince, a local
high school teacher, to choose
and direct a play. Quince chooses'
Shakespeare's Midsummer
Night's Dream. The play, and the
fun, goes on from, here.
Shakespeare for Fun and Profit
will be in Blyth for two nights
only,
after 49 years
And, some are full of mighty
Hate,
When the mailman is a trifle late.
Troubles are there for any man -
Our mailman does the best he
can,
So tell those folks who rave and
cuss;
He's human like the rest of us.
You've always. been a smiling
friend,
So when you reach the mail
route's end,
A star-filled crown will be y our
due
Earl i; our hats are-off' to you.
EVE YOUNG,
