'Rock and Roll' rocks Grand
The walls of the Grand Theatre
in London have been shaking
recently, during rehearsals for the
final show of the season, “Rock
and Roll!’’ John Gray’s musical
play, a nostalgic trip to the past,
opens April 22 and runs to May 21.
Rock and Roll is directed by
Larry Lillo, and stars Doug Bennett
(of Doug and The Slugs fame),
Maurice Godin, Randy Kempf,
David Kirby, Louise Pitre, and
Alec Willows. Setandcostumes
are designed by Pam Johnson,
with lighting by Marsha Sibthorpe.
DougBalfour serves as Musical
Director, Valerie Moore as choreo
grapher, and Peter Brennan as
off-stage guitarist.
“The Monarchs’’ are together
again! Once the home-town heroes
of Mushaboom, Nova Scotia in the
1960’s, this rock and roll band
gathers 15 years later to play a
reunion concert. Nostalgia gives
way to terror as they face the
prospect of total humiliation - why
threaten the perfection of memory
with the awful reality of the
present? Rock and Roll is a musical
history of the band, from their
formation, to unexpected success,
and eventual dissolution, told with
laughter, flashbacks, and lots of
good old rock and roll. It traces the
growth of a generation from
hard-rockin’ youth to responsi
bility-laden adulthood, and ex
plores the fears and joys of both.
Screamin’ John, the ghost of rock
and roll (Nova Scotia-style!), adds
a touch of rock and roll wisdom to a
rollickinglookatapartofall our
lives.
Play wright John Gray drew from
personal experience when he
wrote Rock and Roll. As a teenager
in Truro, Nova Scotia, he founded
his own band, The Lincolns, which
toured the province for seven
years, and he returned to Truro
nearly 15 years later to play a
reunion concert with them. Gray
moved to Vancouver in the late
1960’s, where he co-founded
Tamahnous Theatre, and worked
with them for several years.
