It began its' Canadian tour on September 12th and. Neither is there salvation in any other Where - we must be saved. Acts 4.12 What Is The Lord Jesus Christ To You?

Coming Your Way For THEATRE. REVIEW will end at Citadel Theatre in Edmonton. Centering on a Huron County farm fami- ly, the play centres around the family's financial difficulties, and tradition and family history are at risk. Pressure comes from many sources but mainly the banks, who control a number of farms. The main character of the play, Ken Purves, played by Lee J. Campbell, is a proud farmer whose main concern is to keep farming. Throughout the play, he paints the picture ' of a farmer whoa -- perseveres in a no-win situation. Camp- bell's performance is exceptionally well done... His wife Helen, played. by Nicola Lip- man, is the suffering wife who is constant- ly worried about their financial state and is ehe character that keeps ' the family together with her' logic. Lipman gives a realistic performance and her character is ' the binding element in the play. , Florence Paterson's portrayal of Gran- ny Purves seemed to be the most ap- preciated performance on opening night. She turns a memorable performance at the end of Act I, which remains with the audience for the remainder of the play. It is easy to become engrossed in Paterson's performance because of her graphic rendi- tion of a tough, but soft-hearted old woman. In the first act, Ken and Helen Purves receive a visit from their son, Robert (John O'Krancy) and grandson, Sandy, (Jerrod Button). O'Krancy gives an ac- curate performance of a farmer's son turned city boy who stays for a 10 minute visit after not seeing his parents for two years. The character of Robert, although weak in Part I,, picks up steam in part two as his marriage falls apart and his priorities change. Button' performed as Sandy, the grandson that grandma and grandpa had never met, who stays at the farm for the summer. Button fumbled in the first act but Lip- man and Campbell quickly remedied the situation with a 'smooth cover-up. It is refreshing to see a child in a play and But- ton's performance adds an invigorating change. Ed and Agnes Palmer, played by Stan Coles and Judith Orban, are Ken's flam- --boyant sister and meddling -and -obnoxious brother-in-law. They make two visits dur- ing the play and with each visit they add a touch of comic relief. Laurel Paetz and Peter Smith, the more minor characters, did not go unnoticed. Paetz played Jane Noonan, the woman torn between doing her job and not betray- ing her friends. Smith plays Pete Ryder, a neighbour and good friend of Ken's who is" also caught in the farming crisis. Both of their performances colour the play with necessary details: Although the end came abruptly, and left the audience wondering what will happen to the Purves family, "Another Season's Promise," was well done. The set, a far- mhouse kitchen, was the appropriate at- mosphere for the arguments, the quiet moments and the touching scenes in the play and would not have the same effect with a different setting. "Another Season's Promise," leaves the viewer with a lot to think about. Tickets are still available for Another Season's Promise at the Blyth Festival Box Office.
