Three of the principal characters in "The Tomorrow
Box", Blyth Summer Festival's latest offering, check
4
over some photos. Left to right are Layne Coleman, Kate
Trotter and Anne Anglin. (James Hockings photo)
Blyth has crowd -pleasing fare.
By Jim Fitzgerald
Whether by design or by
accident (more than likely
the former) the people
behind the Blyth Summer
Festival seemed to have
found the secret recipe for
not only filling the small
village theatre by producing
crowd -pleasing' fare, but
also giving it a polished
topping that is gaining it
international acclaim.
The Festival's third of-
fering Tomorrow,Box, which
opened last week, is proving
to be appetite pleasing fare
on the theatre's all -too short
two and a half month, richly
garnished platter. 1!t has all
the ingredients for success:
humorous, but incisive
writing by Anne Chislett;
seemingly easy going, but
never boring direction by the
highly. skilled Janet Amos;
outstanding . acting by the
entire cast; a believable set
and costumes by Tony
Abrams; and of course, a
quite willing audience that
"gets into the play" in only
the first few minutes of the
first scene:
That audience reaction
seems to inspire the cast into
new • heights, and even
'though it's really difficult for
this reviewer to class
"Tomorrow" as either a
comedy or a parable, it does
have a happy ending, unillce
a real life situation might.
But this is theatre, and
Anne Chislett's clever
writing has given us a
valuable insight into the
human condition, without
rubbing our noses in it too
much, and the audience
showed its appreciation by
giving the production a
standing ovation at the end.
The plot basically swirls
around a farmer's wife
Maureen Cooper (played by
Anne Anglin) who has
suddenly found herself
without her comfortable
farm home after her
husband of 40 years, Jack
(Dean Hawes) decided to
sell the farm to his son Joe
( Layne Coleman), all
without her knowledge.
Her daughter-in-law, Alice
(Kate Trotter) and Alice's
sister, Lisa Graham (Diana
Belshaw1, a big city lawyer,
decide the old man can't get
away with it and decide to go
tobat for Maureen and fight
the sale it.court."
Ms. Anglin, who is only in
her mid -thirties, is so out-
standing in her roll as 607
year-old shy, retiring
housewife, that she had
many in the audience
conipetely fooled and
several actually remarked
on how well, "that Little old
lady could stand up to
playing that role, night after
night."
The other supporting
members of the cast per
formed flawlessly in their
roles, and Tomorrow should
easily be a winner this year,
but with two outstanding
productions already on the
stage, and two more just
about ready in the wings, -it
would be tough , or even the
most discerning gourmet to
pick out the best dish.
Tomorrow plays in
repertoire in August with
Love or Money and the two
yet to be unveiled plays Fire
oq Ice the story of Mitchell
hockey star Howie Morenz,
and Ted John's revival of He
Won't Come In From the
Barn
By the way, "Barn" is
nearly sold out already on
word of mouth alone, so if
you want tickets, you had •
best reserve them right
away. It seems that the mere
mention of the name Ted
Johns is enough to guarantee
a sellout in this area,
following his previous
successes at Blyth with The
School Show and St. Sam of
the Nuke Pile.
Old Lace is standard
BY CATH WOODEN
Arsenic and Old Lace, showing at the
Huron Country Playhouse until August 8,
is an average production. It is directed by
James Saar whose name is familiar to
Goderich after. - staging Goderich Littre
Theatre's Witness for the Prosecution last
winter.
The play concerns the charming Abby
and Martha Brewster, spinster sisters who
feel they are doing a service to lonely old
gentlemen by killing them off with
elderberry wine laced with arsenic. Their
nephew Teddy buries them in the Panama
Canal which is being dug in the cellar. You
see, Teddy believes he is Theadore
Roosevelt.
Played by Peter Purvis, the Teddy
character is a delightful one although not
difficult to play for an actor with the right
physical bearing. Purvis drew the most
giggles from the audience with his duck
walk and "Charge!"" up the staircase.
Abby and Martha are portrayed solidly
enough by Doris Petrie and Jessica Booker
respectively, although- Petrie leans
heavily on the Ruth Gordon old lady
image. The sisters fail to see why nephew
Mortimer Brewster is so distraught at
discovering thea ladies' twelfth cadaver in
the window seat.
Mortimer is played by Joseph Matheson
and is the most tiresome of all the
characters. Saar had a chance to make

Mortimer more than a stereotype like all
the other characters through his love in-
terest Elaine Harper, played by Erica
Kohl, and his job as theatre critic on the
New York Times. But Matheson over- -
played the frantic Mortimer. •
The third nephew arrives on the scene
with a cadaver of his own which gives the
plot its crisis. Jonathan Brewster (Jim
McNabb) is a big Boris Karloff hood with a
whining Peter Lorre sidekick named Dr.
Einstein (John Heath). •
Heath gives a funny performance as 1)r.
Einstein, complete with hilarious body
movements and is a good foil for the
straight man Jonathon. McNabb, rarely
strays from the. Boris. Karloff routine
'which makes his lines. tedious. Like
Mortimer's character, he had a chance to
add depth to the character, but Saar again
stuck to the stereotype.
John Carroll gives the best performance
of the secondary characters as Lieutenant
Rooney, in charge of wrapping up the play.
This he does with gusto and the head -
shaking confusion of one confronted with
many crazy people.
The set design and lighting were quite
nice, and the five exits give the play the
movement it requires.
All told, Arsenic and Old Lace may be
worth the price of the theatre ticket but it
doesn't warrant driving 30 miles to the
Bend to see.
