HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MAUREEN
Love family & friends
By Ashley Gropp
On the night of Nov. 16, the
...And Perhaps a Play Theatre
Company set out to prove a point
with the opening of their first play,
The Complete Works of William
Shakespeare (abridged) at The
Garage Theatre in Blyth. This
theatre group wanted to prove that
teenagers are capable of highly
skilled theatre, and did a better job
than some may have expected.
The Company is made up
entirely of teenagers. From the
position of president, (Daryle
Henry), to tickets, programs and
poster design, teenagers run the
show, and (surprising to some, I'm
sure) it's great entertainment. Their
hard work and dedication has
obviously paid off, as the actors
had the audience laughing
hysterically.
The Complete Works was
directed by Mike Mullen and
Cappy Onn. Under their guidance,
the cast's talent blossomed.
Although, I'm uncertain how
much of the comedy came from the
script and how much came from
their leadership, it seemed apparent
through their confident
performances that much of it was
brought out through their own
ideas.
The cast of Nathan Sherred,
Henry, Heather Sande, Kendra
Folkhard, Robin Wong and Briana
Brown were full of energy—of
which it took a lot to perform such
a piece—seemingly enjoyed every
minute and involved crew and
audience alike into their world of
'twisted' Shakespeare. Never has
Shakespearean tragedy been so
tragically performed with such
humorous results.
The intentional overacting, as
well as the unbelievable twists put
into the play served to create the
mood necessary to laugh at the
events of which the Bard wrote.
Somehow, sitting in The Garage,
Romeo and Juliet, and many other
great tragedies were reduced to
crude jokes.
The play is self-mocking right
from the opening, and this ability to

keep it light is what kept the
audience alert and ready to enjoy
themselves. Death scenes became
boisterous comedy, as opposed to
the dreary emotional moments that
they are usually portrayed as. Only
rarely did the action seem to drag,
something that happens in virtually
any play, movie, or television
show.
All around the show is great.
Artistic Director Erin Roulston
made an excellent choice for pure
entertainment value and to
showcase the talents of the capable
young actors.
The play appeals to most ages,
although the easily offended and
the very young probably will not
want to attend. Even skeptics of the
Company should full-heartedly
agree after seeing the show that a
bunch of kids are capable of
running a Company and coming up
with pleasing results.
