BLYTH FESTIVAL
Blyth Festival has made the village famous across the
country for its production of new Canadian plays. This
season all five plays produced at the Festival received their
world premieres here: four this season and one a repeat of a
hit play from last year.
GIRLS IN THE GANG: by John Roby and Raymond Storey is
a slick musical with the jazzy sounds of the late 1940’s about
the infamous Boyd Gang of bank robbers that operated
mostly in the Toronto area in the early post-war years. Its
final production is August 22.
BORDERTO WNCAFE: Is a comedy by Kelly Rebar about a
mother living a very everyday life helping her family run a
cafe on the Canadian side of the border, worrying about
losing her son to the more glamourous life offered by her
truck-driving American ex-husband. It plays until Aug. 22.
MISS BALMORAL OFTHEBA YVIEW: Is the latest Colleen
Curran comic romp that returns to the site of her first big hit
(Cakewalk) at the rundown Bayview Inn. The show is sold out
until its closing Aug. 29.
Forty thousand people a year travel to see attractions at
Blyth Festival.
BUSH FIRE: by Laurie Fyffe is a murder mystery set in the
early 1800’s in eastern Ontario where a community searches
for the truth about what happened to a murdered woman and
her children. It plays until Aug. 21.
ANOTHER SEASON SPROMISE: Anne Chislett and Keith
Roulston have brought the struggle of one typical western
Ontario farm family to the stage in a production hailed by
critics last year as “...one of Blyth’s most powerful plays
ever The warm, sometimes funny, sometimes stormy
relationship of the Purves family deals with issues from
pride in the family’s farm history to concern about the future
of farming. The play opens Aug. 25 and runs until Sept. 12
after which it will go on tour around Ontario before heading
out west to Edmonton.
