Robertson's new play •"1'wo
Below" at the Huron Country
Playhouse Tuesday evening;
two real "winners meeting
in a play that by the
audience's reaction was a
winner.
It was a close to capacity
crowd that didn't know what
to expect, a feeling that was
shared by director of the
play Lynn Gorman, artistic
directer James Murphy and
- playwright Robertson, who
was in attendance.
The play whith revolves

The play which is the -
Playhouse's 1970's selection:
for its tribute to the decades
is what could be called an
earthy comedy, one that

liberation of the female and
the attempt of people to
make some sense out of
today's world.
Lamberts as Boris the
recluse, gives definition to a
character who is somewhat
twisted by his own ad-
mittance, what -with his
strange in •house .rules, his
relationship With a store
dummy and his habitation in
the bottom of a building
that's being torn down.
Returning to - the
Playhouse after a six year
absence, Ms. Tweed gives a
solid performance as Nettie,
the women's libber who
assaulted a policeman and
who met Boris by climbing in
through his living room
window. She combines the
right degrees of hostility,
vulnerability and corn -
passion to work -successfully
with her male alter ego.
Trader Selkirk as the
police detective who was
allegedly assaulted by Nettie
gives a nicely 'overplayed
perfdrmance. .
One -of the best parts of this
play has to be the. set by
Alistair MacRae which is by
far, his best of the current
Playhouse season. '
While the lack of a
multiplicity of sets in this
production makes his work
somewhat easier, his ren-
dition of a soon to be
_removed building and
recluse's residence is ex-
cellent. -
Special effects are good,
such as the'staking of one -
wall when the building is
being torn down, the running
water for 'the kitchen sink
and the falling of a hunk of
plaster from the ceiling.
Considering it was the first

surprisingly funny with only

A minute that drew a
