1987 season pians to b
ever t •tlyth'Pestiv
I3LY'1'H - ••I aryl thrilled with this year's
Awe up," said Blyth Festival's Artistic
Director, Katherine Kaszas. "I really think
it is our most exciting season ever."
For the 1987 season, the Blyth Festival
will be presenting an entire season of home-
grown plays - four completely new works
and the return of a hit drama which was
premiere(} last year. The season will open
on June 19 and run through to September 12
with two season previews on .June 1 i and 18,
To open the season on June 19, the au-
dience will be treated to '
Girl's in the Gang by Raymond Storey and
John Roby.
"I think it will be quite a big hit.- here and
across the country. It has music from the.
'505 and focusses on the women, glamorous
with lots of leg," said Katherine, adding,
-It's a funny piece: The typical cops and
rubber Stuff •
The Boyd (;ang•wure notorious bank rob-
bers whose nefarious exploits thrilled th1
Canadian press and public alike. They lived
the high life until one day a dramatic shoot-
out turned there into public enemy number
one.
Raymond Storey's fast moving script,
foc•uss,ing on the gang's woolen, is punc-
tuated by the hot jazz., mellow swing, and
sweet harmonies of John I Country Hearts
Roby's score.
This bright and lively musical captures
the excitement and glamour of the '40s. and
'50s in Canada. •
The following week. on June' 23, Border•

town Cafe by "Kelly Rubin:, will open. 'phis is
the story of a young man's coming of age in
the 1980s. Is he Canadian or American? He's
pulled in all directions - by •his feisty,
patriotic American grandmother, his Cana-
dian'grandfather who's given hirn a deep
love of -the land, his harried mother who
can't"• communicate with hien: • his high
school. teammates, and now his estranged
truck'di'iving father wants him to move to
the States. Canada's national obession with
our neighbors to the south is examined in
this fresh, vibrant comedy. •

THEATRE REVIEW
thy," Katherine corrunented. "The play
turns into a team effort with the audience,
as Canadians, rooting for the Canadian
side."
- Miss Balmoral Of Bayview- by Colleen
'' Curran, will open ;July 14. Coming hot on the
heels of Cake -Walk and Moose County, this
side-splitting comedy follows the adven-
turous Beatrix Balmoral as she leaves her
job at an exclusive girl;' school + under less
than happy circumstances r„ and begins a
new career in hotel management.
' . The Bayview Inn, once a thriving hostlry,
is now run-down, decrepit, and in the final
stages of terminal wood rot - and peopled by
a wild assortment of -zany characters.
-The hurnor in this play is addictive. You
know you're 'oinL; to laugh and in a few
minutes you laugh again, and a few
minutes later you'll laugh again," explainer
Kerine.
he fourth play•of the repertory season is
Bush Fire by Laurie Fyffe, a spine
chilling
tale of passion and destruction set in Lanark
County in 1828. A fire claims the lives of Ann
Easby and four of her children. A neighbor
takes in the surviving boy, but his disturb-
ing: incoherent ramblings prompt .her to
place a far more sinister interpretation on
the events which transpired that wintry
night. "
The suspense builds as the true horror is
• revealed, a horror which would have been
better left buried. .
"For those that want to sit on the edge of
their seats all night, this is it,'" sajd
Katherine,,"It's a twisted tale of horror."
These four • plays will run in repertory
through to August 22 with the exception of
Miss Balmoral which closes one week later.
on August 29. •
The final production of 1987, Another
• Season's Promise by Anne Chislett and
• •Keith Holliston, will open on August 25 and
will play through to September 12. Describ-
ed by D,pug Bale of the London free Press as
-one of Blyth's most powerful plays ever."
