Garrison's Garage, a play commissioned in 1984,.and written by Ted Johns, was a hit this year � Test drive Garrison's Garage at Blyth If you haven't seen Garrison's Garage then you do not know what you are missing. The play is currently closing out the llth season of the Blyth festival. The play was commissioned by the Blyth festival in 1984. Written by Ted Johns, it received its first production as part of the Festival's 1984 season and it turned out to be the hit of the season. Because of it's appeal, Garrisson's Garage was revived with some minor changes to finish of this year's season with a three week run. After the play is finished in Blyth, it will then embark on a seven -week tour of Ontario and New Brunswick. The play opened at the Festival on August 27, and it has played to full houses almost every night. The play is well oiled and things really fit together nicely. The play is set in a run down garage, and the play takes a few satirical swings at revenue Canada. Robert King portrays the scatter brained mechanic and he is one of the key reasons that the play is so appealing. His facial ex- pressions and mannerisms have one falling to the floor with laughter. At times through the production even the actors were laughing. As one of the characters in the play puts it, Frank is a fiscal incompetant with the atten- tion span of a sparrow. He has a unique fil- ing sytem and along with his personality, Frank is the central character upon which most of the humor evolves around. Blair Daniels is another key character. He is the Revenue Canada tax auditor whose car just happened to quit outside of Gar- rison's Garage. David Fox's portrayal of Blair is divine. At one point in the play he reveals, "Before I joined revenue Canada I used to be a christian." In the play he tackles the Garages books with religious fervor. He sees the income tax act as his bible and his calculator as his staff. He takes pride in the fact that it iS 500 pages long and that "it can be read in any direction and still make sense." In the play Blair Daniels is trapped between his love for the lovely Lorna Spr- inger (Mclsaac) or the income tax act and his oath of allegiance to revenue Canada. Springer is the feisty daughter of Garrison who was thrown to her knees a few years early by Revenue Canada. Blair feels compelled to report his fin- dings to Revenue Canada. However by the end of the production, Blair discovers that the income tax act is not perfect. He comes GERRY PRANCE CENTENNIAL Home Renovations Ltd.

The cast of characters is rounded out by Ron Gabriel who plays an assuming town councillor named Bert. Bert does not mean to get involved in things. It's just that he is around when things start to happen. In the play he comes to the garage to see if he can get his truck fixed. But a simple repair job can turn into a career at Garrison's Garage. The acting is superb and it is highlighted by Ted John's the author of the play, in his portrayal of Garrison the owner of the garage.. The set is intricately designed and it even comes complete with a Honda civic. The set was constructed to fit the various theatres across the country. However a few of the props have to be left out when the play is performed on the smaller stages. An old volkswagon serves as a bed and a hiding place for the beleagured mechanic. Garrison's Garage runs at Blyth until September 14. It's an excellent production and should not be missed.
