Cross -.dressing comedy at Blyth
BY DAVID SCOTT
Expositor Editor
It's a whacky, cross-dress-
ing vacation misadventure
(just don't eat the omelette).
ft's Villa Eden, Colleen
Curran's sixth play at the
Blyth Festival and it opened
last Wednesday night.
It's hard to tell the men
from the women and vice -
versa in this tale of a bed and
breakfast based on the 1950's
movie Three Coins In The
Fountain. In case the audi-
ence has never seen the
movie, you get frequent
glimpses of it during scene
changes projected onto the
white curtain. It adds to the
bizarre atmosphere of this
zany comedy.
A lot of strange guests con-
verge on the Villa Eden,
whose host Charisse (Liza
Balkan) is trying to learn
Italian and is driving her
guests crazy with her brutal
cooking. There's an obses-
sive archaeologist (E.A.
Coates), a mysterious movie
star travelling incognito
(Jocelyne Zucco), a budding
architect (Andrew Dolha) and
quarreling triplets who are
never seen together, played
by an energetic Jacques (or is
it Jackie or Jacklyn?) Basko.
Mystery enters this play
right before the end of Act 1
when one of the guests drops
dead. Was it murder or bad

cooking? We don't know
until all the alibis and scenar-
ios are worked out by
Constable Remus (Wayne or
Wanda'? Graham), who pro-
nounces his silent "p's".
Of particular note, is the
hilarious hypnosis scene
which takes one of the
triplets through the birthing
process.
Villa Eden is a little like
Sherlock Holmes meets John
Cleese at Fawity Towers on
his way to La Cage Aux
Folies (if that makes any
sense, which this play doesn't
pretend to make too much
of).
There are some priceless
scenes and moments like the
Homemakers hold enjoyable indoor summer picnic
Seaforth and Arca Town
and Country Homemakers
Dining Out held an enjoyable
summer indoor picnic on July
1,8 with 28 attending.
Organizer John Jam la
helped the group enjoy mini
golf, bean bag toss, crooked
ball throw darts, etc., etc.,
with great participation and
humour, and fun was had by.

Johanna Verbeme, and 50-50

Integrated
network may form
About 20 community rep-
resentatives from the area
discussed the potential for
establishing an integrated
community network (ICN)
when they met at Clinton
July 3.
A steering committee to
explore next steps was estab-
lished, which includes among
others, Dorothy Medd of
Seaforth Community
Hospital. It will meet again in
the middle of next month.
An ICN would facilitate
more efficient, cost-effective
communication to meet the
specific needs of participants,
states a press release from
meeting co -hosts, OMAFRA
anrd the Huron County Board
of Education.
The meeting was attended
by representatives of Huron
County hospital/health,
municipal government. social
services, education, provin-
cial agency and private sec-
tors.
