Workshops are held so that actors, directors and playwrights can gather together to form, study and fine-tune new scripts. This is the second year that the Blyth workshops have been held in the winter months (last season's Polderland and Moose County were workshopped in January). It is the first year that the public has been invited to attend. The workshops began on December 2 and culminated in a day -long session of public readings and discussions on December 13. "It was a marathon day for the actors and everyone involved," said Festival Artistic Director Katherine Kaszas. Three new scripts under consideration for the 1986 season were workshopped. They in- clude: Sister Jude by David Carley. An amusing look at presbyterianism in small town On- tario through the eyes of a brother and sister whose reactions to their strict upbrining are very different. Originally from Peter- borough, David Carley is also the author of Scoops which was performed at ° Port Stanley Summer Theatre last summer. Gone to Glory by Suzanne Finlay. Two elderly women struggle to survive on their meagre pensions in the British Columbia in- terior. This is a comedy about their lives and eccentricities in the small brightly - colored shack they call home. Another of Suzanne°Finlay's plays, Monkeyshines was a big hit at B.C.'s Bastion Theatre recently. Another Season's Promise by Anne Chislett and Keith Roulston. A heart- rending story about a farming family strug- gling to keep the farm from going bankrupt. Anne Chislett is well-known across Canada as the author of The Tomorrow Box and the award-winning Quiet in the Land. Blyth resident KeitlfRoulston has written several plays for the Blyth Festival, including The Shortest Distance Between Two Points. This is their first joint venture. Anne took her proposal of a play about far- ming to Keith two summers ago. Keith says Anne asked him to become involved because he is closer to the localsituation. Anne cur- rently lives in Winnipeg with her husband James Roy, founding artistic director of the Blyth Festival. Last summer, when James returned to the Festival to direct Primrose School District 109, Anne travelled with him. She spent two weeks with Keith and her word processor, hammering out a rough draft of the script. The two had already ex- changed numerous letters on the subject. Anne and Keith say that workshopping is Keith Roulston, Katherine Kaszas and Anne Chislett go over the script of Another Season's Promise, a new play written by Roulston and Chislett for the Blyth Festival's 1986 season. The play, a drama about farming, was workshopped at the Festival recently along with two others. ( Photo by Joanne Buchanan) a very helpful process. "It let's you see graphically where the play is going and when the audience will probably start shifting in their seats," says Anne. The workshopping of Another Season's Promise showed Anne and Keith that their play "needs a lot,more work" they said. The play is sure to strikd a few raw nerves amongst local audiences, especially' those involved in the farming industry. It covers all the latest controversial topics connected with the downturn in farm economy, in- cluding bank foreclosures, sulyivalist meetings and farm gate defence, -selling out", foreign investment, high costs and low returns, the tensions within the farm family, and even suicide. The play has lots of great lines. The main character, a 'farmer, says things like: "We're too damn busy keeping the bankers off our backs to do what farmers are suppos- ed to do"; "If I could spread all the advice I'd received so far, I'd never have to spend another cent on fertilizer"; and "When good businessmen turn this country into Ethiopia, I hope I'in still around to see you starve to death." In typical Blyth Festival fashion, the play is sprinkled with Huron County place names and . a local boy even plays one of 'the characters. „ With the actors dressed in their street clothes, sitting around a table -and reading out lines, it's difficult to envision the -final look of the play or to predict, its outcome. But even without the make-up, costumes,' scenery and a tion, I predict this will be a powerful drama which local audiences will . really relate to. Let's hope that this play is also good enough to tour the country like -many of the Festival's other productions have done, It contains an important message „about the very survival of this country — a message which has to get out to the city folks as well as rural.
