The Grand’s rehearsals begin
From Julia & Mike,
Michael & Joanne
Rehearsals are now underway for
The Grand’s 1992-93 season
opener, A.R. Gurney's The Dining
Room. Opening Oct. 30, this
comedic homage to a vanishing
way of life stars William Hutt,
Patricia Collins, Peter Hutt, Brigitte
Robinson, Jonathan Whittaker and
Jan Alexandra Smith. Directed by
Martha Henry, The Dining Room is
designed by Astrid Janson, and lit
by John Munro.
Set in the dining room of a
traditional old home, The Dining
Room presents a mosaic of inter
related scenes - some funny, some
touching - which create a moving
portrait of the vanishing upper
middle-class way of life. The six
actors change roles, personalities
and ages as they portray a wide
variety of characters, from little
boys to stern grandfathers, and
from giggling teenage girls to Irish
housemaids. They take us through
50 years of excruciating family
memories, lived by the people
whose lives were changed in that
dining room.
Written by the illustrious author
of Love Letters and The Cocktail
Hour, The Dining Room is a lush
theatrical experience of exceptional
range, compassionate humour and
abundant humanity.
