Actress sick, director steps in Cranbrook
We’ve all heard the saying ‘the
show must go on' - but it took on a
new meaning August 1 when one of
the actors at the Blyth Festival fell
ill and was unable to perform.
In large theatre companies like
Stratford and Shaw, there are
understudies for all the major roles
in any play, but at a smaller theatre
company like the Blyth Festival
this simply isn’t possible.
Luckily for the Festival, this
summer’s Associate Artistic Di
rector, Terry Tweed, is also an
accomplished actor. Terry had only
four hours to prepare for the role of
Ann Easby in“BushFire”-and
there was lots to do. The costume
had tobe altered slightly, and a
pair of shoes had to be dyed the
right colour. At 12:00, only two
hours before curtain time, Terry
was taken through the scenes and
shown where she should be, and
when.
“It’s an actor’s nightmare to
step out on stage unprepared” said
Terry “but 1 simply didn’t have
time to panic. The company all
rallied round in an absolutely
marvellous way, they were tre
mendously supportive. Thank
goodness it’s a small part; I was
able to learn the lines for the first
act before curtain time, and then
learned the second act during the
intermission!” Terry went on
stage without a script at all - a
remarkable feat considering the
short preparation time. “I’m glad
it was a performance of “Bush
Fire” and not * ‘Girls In The Gang”
-I can’t sing a note! And I would
have had to learn all that choreo
graphy too,” laughed Terry.
In 1979, Seana McKenna made
her professional debut at the Blyth
Festival, with a bang - literally!
During the opening night of “This
Foreign Land” she made a wrong
turn on stage during a blackout, fell
several feetonto the floor of the
auditorium and was rushed to
hospital. There was no one to
replace her, the play being an
improvised collective without a
script. One performance had to be
cancelled - but Seana was back to
work within four days, stitches in
her head.
