After the shootings, killings, murders and fires were over on opening night of The Death of the Donnellys at the Dlyth Summer Festival, about the only thing. for certain about th,e play is that it will rekindle the century -old controversy about th„p Bidduiph Township legend that has gained Liman and area in- ternational fame. It has been almost a 100 years since five members of the Donnelly family were brutally murdered by a. crowd of vigilantes in the Donnelly home on a cold February 4, 1880 night. Theatre Passe Muraille's three-hour production, that features As much action as ten TV cop shows, put together, tries to feature both sides of the argument against the Donnellys. Were they really ruffians who terrorized the communtiy and got their just reward, or were they just out- casts, falsely accused of many crimes they never committed? Generally speaking, the performance' is superb, with only a few rough spots that any opening night per- formance can have. The play takes place over the whole theatre, a Passe Muraille tradition that gets audience in- volvement right from the opening scene.

Most of the actors play a variety of roles, but they seem to make the transition easily and convincingly. Janet Amos as mother Johannah Donnelly, and David Fox as the father Jim Donnelly are out- standing in their roles, but they get very strong support help from likes of Peter Snell, Sam Malkin, William Dunlop, Bob Collins, and Lane Coleman as the in- . telligent but violent son, Will Donnelly.
