'McClure' comes to Blyth
“McClure”, the true story of a
modern Canadian hero comes to
Blyth Memorial Hall Nov. 14for
two shows, at 2 and 8 p.m.
Stephen Black plays Dr. Robert
Baird McClure, telling the story of
the medical missionary’s 25 adven
turous years in China. Dr. McClure
later came home to Canada and
became the first layman appointed
moderator of the United Church of
Canada. Earlier this year Dr.
McClure was named by Premier
David Peterson as chairman of the
board of the province’s expanded
human organ retrieval and distri
bution network.
The play, centred on the 25 years
in China, is written by Munroe
Scott and was first produced at
Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton.
Earlier this year it was performed
at the Guelph Spring Festival and
has just returned from performan
ces at Theatre New Brunswick.
The one-man show has won the
praise of critics. “A one-man show
is challenging for both actor and
audience but by the end it is hard to
believe only one person has been
onstage.” said John Buttarsofthe
Guelph Daily Mercury. The Toron
to GlobeandMail said “... The
Canadian missionary ... is not only
irreverent but occasionally pro
fane. not only assertive but often
cocky; it’s a show about heroism
with the integrity to allow us
ambivalence about its hero.”
The Festival reports the evening
performance is nearly sold out but
a number of tickets are still
available for the matinee. Tickets
are $10.50.
