‘Reaper’
comes to
Blyth
I'll Be Back Before Midnight
author. Peter Colley has created
another comic hit, opening at the
Blyth Festival on Friday, July 30 at
8 p.m. in the Garage Theatre.
When the Reaper Calls has
garnered rave reviews for Colley’s
terrific combination of laughs and
intrigue in this fast-paced tale of
two philosophy professors who try
to disprove each other’s theories by
staging an elaborate prank. All this
leads to a deadly competition and
each of the long-suffering wives
concocts a desperate action of her
own.
Throw in an over-zealous young
cop longing for a crime to solve
and it’s no wonder that the critics
have exclaimed: “Murder and
mayhem abound”, “A fun evening”
and “This play has it all - suspense,
humour and the supernatural.”
This popular comedy-thriller
comes from the pen of one of
Canada’s winning writers, with his
plays translated into several
languages including sign-language.
Colley’s play I’ll Be Back Before
Midnight which premiered at Blyth
in 1979, was named in a 1998
Toronto Globe and Mail
retrospective on Canadian theatre
as “probably the most produced
Canadian play ever.” This one play
has grossed over $8 million
worldwide!
When the Reaper Calls has
played to sell-out crowds wherever
it has been produced and it looks
like the Blyth production will be no
exception. This production is
selling well, and the Festival has
added an additional matinee
performance on Sunday, Aug. 15 at
2 p.m.
Artistic Associate Eric Coates,
returning for his fifth consecutive
season at the Festival, is directing
this comedy, beginning his
professional directing career. The
Garage Theatre set is an
exceptional design by Blyth
newcomer Deeter Schurig with
special lighting created by Michael
Kruse and cottage and mayhem
sound effects by Doug Morum.

the Reaper Calls, please call: 877-
