John Diefenbaker saw a special performance of "The West Show" given in his 'honor as part of the Saskatoon celebration of his eightieth birthday/. The actors alternately moved._ and delighted the audience with accurate and occasionally outrageous glimpses into the life of Mr. Diefenbaker. A red river cart was built for -the show by Bob Pearson, stage manager for Theatre Passe Muraille and, a native of Brussels. The use made of the cart in the production has been described by a reviewer as "fabulously imaginative". "More satirically funny than 'The Farm Show'," say reviews from Saskatchewan,'. " 'The West Show' catches the many facets of life on the Prairies from Y the Riel Rebellion to recent farmer demonstrations with intuitive" understanding."
