Play conveys message to audience
BLYTH - A nurse's career is ruined by her
abuse of over-the-counter and prescription
drugs, leading her to attempt suicide. A
mother of six, with an unappreciative and
sometimes violent husband, is offered
medication to han+'e her frustration with
her life.
Two pharmaceutical company executives
look for a new disease so they can promote
drugs to cure it. They also plot to send
shipments of drugs banned in the US to
Brazil through Guatemala, because Brazil's
laws forbid importation of products banned
in the "country of origin."
A poor Third World woman, sells her
children's only source of high protein eggs:
her chicken. It will enable her to buy some
of the useless and perhaps dangerous
preparations her doctor has prescribed,
such as cough syrup, tonics and "growth
hormones" (anabolic steroids) which can
have disastrous side effects in children, but
which drug companies are promoting in the
Third World as a "cure" for malnutrition.
These real-life stories are among the in-
terwoven tales of women's lives portrayed
in the moving, hilarious, dramatic,
satirical, educational and always entertain-
ing play Side Effects, produced by The
Great Canadian Theatre Company of Ot-
tawa, and Women's Health Interaction, an

Ottawa -based ccyalition. It was previewed at
a public showing at the Canadian Health
Coalition conference in Ottawa on
November 24.
Side Effects is being brought to the area
by Women Today.
The production will be staged at the Blyth
Memorial Hall on Tuesday, May 7 at 8 p.m.
The cleverly written script, with its fre-
quent changes in temp, setting and style,
holds the audience's attention. Continuity is
provided by several storylines running
through the one -and -a -half hour play.
Five professional actresses play multiple
roles and produce a tapestry of emotions in
the audience: indignation, sympathy, hilari-
ty, anger - while conveying a sense of the
importance of the lives of the women por-
trayed.
Quite a lot of information is put across:
the extent of drug use among Canadian
women and how it is promoted by drug com-
panies through doctors, often with the
passive compliance of us, the patients, as
"doctor knows best"; information on many
drugs such as valium and D.E.S.; some of

the exploitative marketing [practices of drug
companies in Third World countries, and
how people there are affected by them; a
glimpse of the traditional health care system
which has been displaced by the modern,
pharmaceutical -dependent practice of
medicine; and especially, that we as in-
dividuals are not alone in our experience
with the medical establishment.
Overall reactions from the well-informed
audience was highly favorable. As the play
is still not in its final (Wm, the audience was
asked afterwards to comment on where it
worked well and where it could be improv-
ed. Our comments were taken very serious-
ly by the organizers.
Side Effects is expected to stimulate
discussion and action on the issues involved
wherever it is produced. An Action Guide is
being prepared to accompany the play.
Tickets for the Blyth showing of Side Ef-
fects are $5 each. They are available at
Women Today offices in Clinton at 482-9706.

CLINTON-For the first time, a Klompen
Feest Committee is co-ordinating a bed -'n -
breakfast service for visitors to the fifth an-
nual Dutch festival in Clinton.
In 1984, Brownie Van Damme's boarding
house was able to handle some of the
overflow from the 15,000 visitors expected to
arrive in Clinton in two weeks. But this year,
with only two local motels to cater to
visitors, the committee felt that a boost to
local hospitality was needed.
