"Tice Donnellys are
here!" Although that
statement . might • ]lave
struck fear into 'the
hearts of the residents of
I,.ucan, Ontario one
hundred years ago, it has
a different meaning, in
Blyth, " Ontario today.
Rehearsals for "The
Death of the Donnellys"
began at the Blyth
Summer Festival this
week, and writer Ted
Johns, director Paul
Thompson and Theatre
Passe Muraille are busy
putting together their
spectacular version of the
Donnellys saga.
The Donnellys family
has given grist to the mill
of many writers and
playwrights over the past
few years, and small
wonder, for their exploits
and misadventures
contain some of the most
dramatic and con-
troversial incidents in
Canadian history.
Theatre Passe
Muraille's version of the
legend poses a dilemma
— were the Dc nne'Plys
really true villains •moo
terrorized the 'Coun-
tryside, or were they
scapegoats for every
mishap - in Biddulph
township? No matter

stand on, the music and
action will keep you

final curtain.
