T -A photo 'Maggie and Pierre' featured at Blyth Maggie and Pierre, the smash hit play starring Lin- da Griffiths, will make one of its few appearances out- side Canada's big cities when it plays at Blyth Memorial Hall, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 10. 11 and 12. Miss Griffith's tender tell- ing of the ill-fated lovestory of a middle-aged Prime Minister and a young flower child of the sixties has been a hit from Montreal to Van- couver. Keith Ashwell in the Edmonton Journal summed it up: "As tens of thousands of theatre -goers from coast to coast have determined, the show and the lady perfor- ming it are just great!" A play about the over - publicized controversial of the Prime Minister and his wife seemed to be the last thing the country needed in late 1979 but when Maggie and Pierre opened at Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto. people knew that this was more than a sen- sational view of a famous couple. Miss Griffiths, working with director Paul Thomp- son, dug deeper and ended with a stunning portrait, sometimes funny often touching of the most famous couple in Canada. Along the way they also manage to say a lot about the Candian peo- ple who watched the couple's story unfold. The play recently won awards for the best new play and best performance on the Toronto theatre scene in 1980. Miss Griffiths alternates from one character to - another with amazing skill as she portrays both Maggie and Pierre. A third character. Henry the reporter. looks at the marriage from the outside and at the public's fascina- tion with it. Until now Maggie and Pierre has been performed only in the nation's largest theatrical centres. It comes to Blyth through the long co- operative association of the Blyth Summer Festival and Theatre Passe Muraille. Performances will be at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. April 12. 'tickets for reserved seats are $7.50 and $6. There will be a special country supper served by the Blyth Centre for the Arts Board of Direc- tors on Saturday evening, April 11 at 6 p.m. in the base- ment of Memorial Hall. Tickets for the dinner are $7.50. Puppet theatre set for Blyth Lampoon Puppetheatre, which has thrilled the children not only in Canada but in Japan, Russia, Poland. the United States and elsewhere. will perform for Western Ontario children at Blyth. Memorial Hall, Saturday. March 14 at 2 p.m. Johan and Alison Vandergun who created Lampoon Puppetheatre in 1972. will bring their show Monkey Business complete with a talented menagerie of puppets who entertain the audience with a series of short sketches and stories to the stage of Memorial Hall for one performance only. The show has two monkeys who dance with astonishing precision, an oddly -shaped character who discovers a wealth of comic possibilities in a simple ball. and an amazingly life -like squirrel who captures audiences with a flick of her tail. One unique feature of the show is that the Vangerguns introduce the art of puppetry to children by demonstating its simplicity. Johan Vandergun is an ex- perienced puppet designer from the Netherlands while Alison Vandergunst studied fine arts and drama at the University of Guelph. As well as the overwhelm- ing approval of young audiences across Canada, the Vanderguns have won the top award at the Inter- national Festival of Puppet Theatres in Hungary and have twice received the "Citation of Excellence in the Art of Puppetry" from the American Centre of UNIMA. the International Organization of Puppet Theatres Tickets for the performance are $2.50 for reserved seats and are available from the Blyth Centre for the Arts box office.
