Lucien: Take a break
• By 11:11rk Bisset
BLYTT1 - "Take it easy, take a break," -
Gesturing as if he were breaking an imaginary stick, Lucien in I.•rs

Lucien,.a one man play which opened at Blyth Wednesday
turns out to bean excellent vehicle for the talents of Blyth festival
veteran Ron Gabriel: Playing Lucien, a French Canadian -pill') and
paper milll worker from New Brunswick -who takes a.uniyers,ti Stu
dent under his wing for the. night shift, Gabriel brings to life ;,
:icier most of us have known atone time or•another. In fail, a, (;.,
meanders ea nders over a lifetime of experiences and opinions, ytii may
recognize yourself tip on the stage.
Rich With Canadiana of the 1980 s, Lucien offers his opini,sr,
everything from politicians to vasectomies:
'If I were King of d' world," says Lucien in a thick French
an accent, "I'd put all d' trouble -makers on d' night -shift. I'd Irl. • t.
sec how ntuch,trouble that Kadaffi could cause after working the 12-
S shift for three months." •
a manner surprisingly familiar, Gabriel turns a girba;'e can
into a 11ontrcal Canadiens goal and a broom into a guitar with a
little help from "du I3accardi".
Written by Marshall Button and directed by Ted Johns, Lucien is
the story ;>f a man who has lost his wife and family, his best friend
and his will to go forward -- evcrything'but.his charming sense of
humour. Button takes the character and extracts litres of humour --
some of -it delightfully bawEiy then leaves a purged Lucien, re-
solved to continue with renewed optimism.
Sincere, simple and eventually honest about himself and his lot in
life, Lucien is a refreshing Canadian character.
Originating at Theatre Ncw Brunswick in 1986, Lucien has
played to sold out audiences across Canada. In New Bruns\\ i, k.
w here it drew a record crowd of 13,000 in three weeks, people were
actually scalping tickets for packed performances.
Spend an evening• with the working .class philosopher and you'll
understand that maritime reaction.
Lucien runs at the Blyth Festival until September 1(I'
