A live taping of the Royal Cana- dian Air Farce for CBC Radio will take place Thursday, October 3 at 8 p.m. and you are invited to be part of the hilarity. The Air Farce has become a national comedy institu- tion since if first aired on CBC Ra- dio in December of 1973. For the for the past four years, Air Farce has Latest Playhouse farce offers view of marriage love, and life Not quite romance - George (John Gardiner) suffers the effects of driving an MGB in the rain with no aldershirt, while Jane (Mar- cia Kash) offers little sympathy in 2&2 Make Sex. By Adrian Harte GRAND BEND - Jane and George are having an affair, well almost having an affair. The pairs' abortive relationship is based on a strange set of circumstances. Jane, (played by Marcia Kash), lives with Nick (Christopher Barry), who is secretly jealous of George (John Gardiner) and likes to point out he is more of a father figure than a lover. George's wife (Jill Frappier) meanwhile has already couoned on to the idea her husband is seeing another woman. All this sets the stage for 2&2 Make Sex, the latest Huron Country Playhouse offering of a British sex farce. It is, in comparison with other farce plays, almost stran*ely quiet. The usual tide of effervescent dialogue gives way to many silent scenes where the actor or actress sets up their room in preparation for a guest. These scenes reveal something of the depth of the characters involved and add to the overall quality of the play. But perhaps the greatest strength of 2&2 is the fact that it relies more on witty dialogue and bizarre observations on human life than similar plays which seem to get their laughs mostly from breathless scamper- ing and the slamming of doors. Last year's Boeing Boeing! comes to mind. Director Tony Lloyd has also brightened up the dialogue with some delightful sight Fags, most of which are carried off masterfully by John Gardiner, revelling in the role of a middle-aged man desperately trying to live up to his visions of what a 2A -year old mistress might expect. The Playhouse was packed on the opening night performance, so it's no secret that these kinds of plays are annual favontes at Grand Bend, and 2&2 Make Sex is bound to do better than most at the box office. 2&2 will be running until August 17. .TRIANGLE D • SCCIUN mm. 433 Main August St., Exeter 235-1661 12to 25,1991 Hilroy 200 - ruled or plain 994 Sheet Refills Hilroy 2" Vinyl 269 Binders Hilroy 1" Vinyl 19 Binders111 Campus Craft t Brief Covers 4/99 Economy - 12 pack 49 Bic Pens Laundry Detergent, 2 L 299 Ultra Cheer Postfax Subject, 5'sFabric Dividers 49' Softener 50s 399 Bounce Sheets Hilroy 80 page coil AL nt Exercise Book U7 Stuart House 12" x 50' 199 Foil Wrap Vidal Sassoon 300 ml.
