Photo exhibit showcases jobs
Work! Many profess to hate their
jobs but they are proud of the work
they do.
Jim Vance, president of the Huron
District Labour Council says, “Much
of who we are is defined by the work
we do. This is illustrated by the
number of entries in the annual
photo show called Business as
Usual: People at Work in Huron
County.”
The show is sponsored each year
by the Labour Council.
The exhibition includes work by
amateur and professional
photographers who are residents of
Huron County. The pictures must be
at least eight inches by 10 inches and
be framed and ready to hang. They
may be digital or film and colour or
black and white. There is no entry
fee.
Images can be dropped off at the
Goderich Co-op Gallery, 54
Courthouse Square) Monday to
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4: p.m.
until Dec. 22.
The photos will be a featured
display at the Co-op Gallery for the
month of January 2008. In February
the work can be seen at the Wingham
Public Library and at the Seaforth
Medical Centre in March.

or Carol McDonnell at 519-523-

Simon Callow is the latest
international star to be added to the
Festival’s ranks. Callow will be
presenting a new work of his own
composition, based on
Shakespeare’s sonnets.
Entitled There Reigns Love, this
one-man show was commissioned
by the Stratford Festival for the 2008
season. The production, to be
presented at the Tom Patterson
Theatre, will be directed by Michael
Langham, the Festival’s artistic
director from 1956-67, who will also
be directing the young company in
Love’s Labour’s Lost.
Working from Shakespeare’s text
and the theories of distinguished
British psychoanalyst John Padel,
Callow will present the story he sees
buried in the 154 poems by the great
writer.
“Shakespeare’s Sonnets are the
sphinx of English literature. Every
poem in the collection seems to
speak of some intensely lived
experience, but there is no logical
emotional or intellectual coherence
to them. John Padel’s theory remains
highly controversial, but what it does
to thrilling effect is to liberate the
poems’ meaning, laying bare an
unparalleled history of obsessive
love, perhaps the greatest account in
literature of the devastating course of
Eros,” Callow says.
“Simon Callow is one of the giants
of the classical stage,” says co-
artistic director Don Shipley. “We
are incredibly fortunate to have him
with us in our inaugural season. He
is a highly respected Shakespearean
actor, but excels in all forms of
classical and contemporary theatre.
He is also a highly sought after film
and television actor well known to
audiences for his roles in the films
Four Weddings and a Funeral and
Shakespeare in Love.”
Other artists already announced
for the 2008 season are Christopher
Plummer, Brian Dennehy and Anika
Noni Rose.
