mour and Audrey.
Seymour, a hapless nerd, ac-
quires a strange little plant under
mysterious circumstances, and
discovers its required plant food -
human blood.- As Seymour be-
comes more anemic, the plant
grows bigger and greedier. And
famous. The shop begins to
prosper, as docs the relationship
between Seymour and and his co-
worker:
Complications arise as Sey-
mour 'struggles to satisfy the
.plant's insatiable appetite.
All the players arc well cast.
Greg ,Lawson is entirely believa-
ble . as Seylnour the schmuck,.
whose clumsiness is offset by
basic decency, the nerd who. dares
not -hope he could ever win the
lovely Audrey away from .her •
abusive, psychotic boyfriend: G
Susan attoni is perfect as ethe-
really beautiful Audrey, seeming -
!y fated to live a blighted life
without ever realizing her dream
of getting away from the slums.
Every gesture, every nuance, eve-
ry high -heeled skip or shuffle,.en-
hances the portrayal of an aching-
ly vulnerable young woman
trapped by her low self-esteem.
Nicholas Rice is the personifi-
cation of the immigrant shop-
keeper whose seeming generosity
is really self-serving:
The versatile David Scammell
devotes his considerable talents to
playing a host of characters - the
sadistic dentist, a TV mogul, a
bag lady, a customer, and many:
others.
The other unforgettable star, in
all` four stages of .growth, is the
bloodthirsty .Audrey II. In full-
blown maturity, the gigantic
monster whose cavernous, tooth -
filled mouth can_ swallow three
people in quick succes§ion, domi-
nates the stage.
Audrey II is expertly manipulat-
ed by Terry Todd, a member of the
St. Marys Community Players.
When Audrey is in full flower,
all atrcmble throughout every ten-
dril, leaf and stalk, an,,additional
eight animators are putting life.in.
her limbs. -
Audrey II speaks and sings in a
splendid baritone, courtesy of Ted
Pearson. The strong, lyrical voic-
'es and high-spirited antics of
Feather Chcrron, Renee Rogers
and Maddic Willis provide.an ap-
propriate chorus.
