While Irish ose has its humorous, touching, even thought provoking moments, overall the play leaves theatre patrons somewhat confused and disappointed. Promotion for this year's second production at the Festival sounded promising. The basis of My Wild Irish Rose is to tell the story of a young theatre director, Kate Ross, played by Anne Anglin and her elder aunt Rose Clarke, played by Janet Amos as they travel to Ireland. Rose is looking for the roots of her father's family and Kate is looking for material for a play. The play attempts to recount their experiences with long lost relatives, political upheaval in Nor- thern Ireland and the trials and tribulations of visiting a foreign country. The play offers the Blyth Festival's best actresses, Janet Amos and Ann Anglin, and one of the best directors Paul. Thompson. Amos is Artistic Director at the Festival, but many theatre goers know her best as Rose Clarke, a role that was developed for the highly successful He Won't Come In From the Barn. As Rose Clarke, Amos is back again. It's a delight to see that the loving, warm, down-to-earth character on stage. In My Wild Irish Rose she greets the audience with a Women's Institute report and slide presentation of her trip to Ireland. Rose's en- thusiastic account of the trip, with upside down slides and a few unidentified photos is genuinely funny, but soon becomes too long, too exaggerated. se, . ieaves au In this play, Rose Clarke plays a woman who is in- tensely devoted to her family - her extended family of ancestors and Irish relatives. While she devotes all her energies to the discovery of her roots, Rose is troubled about her lack of stamina and endurance to be what she believes to be a perfect mother and wife. Yet she dashes off to Ireland, leaving husband Elmer at home with some bologna sandwiches. Blyth's well known Anne Anglin plays Kate Ross, a modern thinking, in- dependent, career minded playwright who can't sur- vive without coffee, cigarettes and a night on the town. It is through these opposite travellers that a meaning and a moral to the play is d veloped. Once in Ireland, Kate 0 tutee unc realizes that world travelling isn't as thrilling, fun or exciting as she anticipated. Instead Kate is overcome with homesickness. She misses her husband and children and longs for the quiet, normal comforts of her country home. It isn't easy to de ermine the meaning behindjly Wild Irish Rose. The audience is constantly distracted by scene changes. Abstract pieces of Ireland are moved in a variety of positions to represent in the audience imagination everything from beds, castles, cars to cliffs. It takes some time un- derstand the meaning of the obscure green props, m to represent sections from n Irish map. Althou h designer Henry Fre r attempts a creative touch with the set, one is never completely comfortable with too -frequent changes and the continual guessing game of what the props are meant to represent in each scene. English actor Alan Williams fills in the rest off the cast requirements, playing a variety of characters male and female, from the janitor at the community hall to one slightly emotionally un- balanced cousin. Without major costume changes, one has to watch for a kerchief or a skirt to determine what sex Williams' role is representing. Irish Rose's characters are humorous, they charm, personality and potential, but the play itself does not flow easily. The audience must be prepared for con- stant prop changes, flash- backs and sudden scene changes that don't connect smoothly. Irish Rose has its good moments. The play makes rtain thoughtful comments about the violence in Northern Ireland and the dispute between the Catholics and Protestants. It reflects on the role of families and the differences between the generations. The play also employs the musical talents of the Blyth Festival Singers and director Laurie Rowbotham. The Festival Singers help to maintain the audience at- tention between prop and scene changes. However My Wild Irish Rose simply does not work. Audiences accustomed to the top quality productions at the Festival expect more from this new play. Still theatre patrons who are devoted to the Festival may find some merit in this production. To My Wild Irish Rose plays July 7, 8, 12, 13, 14 (at 2 p.m.) 16, 21, 22, 27 and 30. Anne Anglin and Janet Amos have the leading roles in the Blyth Summer Festival's latest production, My Wild Irish Rose.
