By the time she saw the Japanese production her play had been performed so many times in so many places that the characters had taken on a life of their own, she says. Besides, she says, the interpretation by the Japanese cast was "so spot on that it didn't seem strange." The Tomorrow Box returns to the Blyth Festival with some connections to its past success. Ann Anglin, who first played the role of Maureen Cooper, the woman who at long last decides her husband won't make her decisions for her, returns. She is directed by Kate Trotter, who first played her daughter-in-law who participates in the liberation process. Janet Amos, who fell in love with the play so much in her first stint as artistic director of the Blyth Festival, brought back the play this season, her second since she returned to the Festival last year. She once played the part of Maureen herself, and also produced The Tomorrow Box at Theatre New Brunswick when she headed that theatre in the mid- 1980s after leaving Blyth. "I wanted to do the play because it's a terrific comedy and because it deals with female/male relationships in a wonderful way that doesn't put anyone down," she said. Although the play was originally set in the late 1970s after the famous Murdoch case in which the supreme court decided a farm wife was entitled to half the farm's assets on divorce because of the contribution she had made to the business over her lifetime, Amos says the play is not dated. The type of problems Jack and Maureen Cooper face in the play will probably always be with us, she says. Those characters, as witnessed by the popularity of The Tomorrow Box in Japan, have universal appeal, but they're rooted specifically in Ontario. Amos recalls auditioning one of the actors for the part of Jack, the family patriarch. The actor wondered if the farmer could be an American farmer instead of a Canadian farmer. "I don't think so!" Amos told him. "Even the Japanese made him a Huron County farmer..." who just happened to speak Japanese.0
