During this scene, there is not only an issue of different personalities but also
of understanding.
Female rendition of
'.The Odd Couple' a success
The hilarious and relatable story of two different
personalities, that have a positive effect on each others
lives will leave you rolling on the floor laughing

The female rendition of Neil Simon's
'The Odd Couple', directed by Lisa
Hood, and with lead roles played by
Cara Stephenson and Erin Marshall,
proved to be a success.
The play opened with a clearly care-
less and lazy Olive walking into her
apartment, played with perfectly natu-
ral humour by Cara Stephenson; it was
immediately apparent to the audience
that this character was slovenly, care-
free and wild.
Slowly the other characters were
introduced as the play progressed, each
with a distinctive personality trait, or
flaw, adding to the hilarious chemistry
amongst the actresses.
Each scene pulsated with tongue and
cheek.hununir, and perfect comedic tim-
ing on delivering the lines, but the real
humour entered with the character of
Florence and her interaction with Olive.
Florence, played by Erin Marshall,
brought a whole new element to the
production - a character so uptight and
seemingly incapable of enjoying any-
thing, that she didn't seem to fit in with
the other ladies around the Trivial Pur-
suit board.
There was a palpable chemistry.
between the two leads, creating a sense
of tension to portray differences and
annoyances, yet were still capable of
delivering captivatingly comedic
performances.
Stephenson (also in The Livery's
upcoming production of 'The 39 Steps'
starting in May) and Marshall were able
to build off each other's performances,
and effortlessly brought their charac-
ters to life.
According to director Lisa Hood, who
will be acting in the 'Penelopiad' next
and plans to direct again in summer
2018, opening night on Thursday,
March 23 went wonderfully.
"We were about 70 percent sold but
the audience was laughing and having
a great time. My personal favourite
feedback was 'I peed! I laughed so hard
that I peedr, said Hood.
It was an enjoyable evening out in
Goderich, where one could submerge
themselves into the trials and humour
of someone else's life.
It is highly recommended to go to
one of the upcoming shows of 'The Odd
Couple' at The Livery and support the
community and local theatre.
Due to the onstage presence, no
doubt attributed to the direction of Lisa
flood, the comedic timing of physical
comedy as well as delivering lines, the
chemistry amongst all the performers,
and the seamless work from the stage,
lighting and music crews, 'The Odd
Couplewas a great success.
There are only three more showings
at the Livery, on March 30, 31 and April
1, so get your tickets to this hilarious
comedy.
