'Big Girls Cry', says Heather Esdon Heather Esdon's one -woman show "Big Girls Cry" has a lot to say about being perfect. The play will be staged this Sat- urday at Blyth Memorial Hall, part of the Blyth Festival Fall. series. In an interview last week, Miss Esdon described her play is an introspective piece dealing with social standards, demands for per- fection, and self -acceptance. The script mixes humor about weight, grey hair and complexions 'with mote serious matters as teens, young and middle-aged adults bat- tle with their own self-esteem in the face of social pressure. "A lot of its theme is based on my own experiences as an actress," Miss Esdon says. "For one thing, I've been 'big' most of my life, and I've experienced a lot of frustration with the types of roles I have been given in the theatre." While the slender and beautiful leading lady gets a challenging and dramatic role, Heather notes, she has always accepted the role of the Mom, or an older person, support- ive (and chubby) friend, and other such parts. "I've never been short of work, and I've_ always enjoyed playing these re_leS„but I've always found the writing to be very super- ficial — the writers never delve into the character and feelings of these people. I've tried to write a script that digs deeper." During the 90 minute perfor- mance, Heather portrays Faith, a somewhat overweight actress get- ting ready for an important audi- tion. The Setting is the bathroom of Faith's home, where she goes from bathrobe through the process of preparing to face the world: dress- ing, grooming, make-up, hair -do etc. During her musings, Heather also takes on the voices of several characters; teachers, friends, and other people in Faith's life. Originally aimed to appeal to the 20s and 30S age group, .Miss Esdon says she was surprised and pleased with the positive reaction from teenagers. "The teens feel a lot of pressure to conform," she notes. "So this theme means a lot to them, too." It also strikes a chord with women of all ages who feel the pressure of current fashion trends to look young and beautiful, and even men, aging and balding, who have their own fears about facing the world, she aaysi Premiered ant west at the Edthonton Fringe Festival, "Big Girls Cry" also had a stint with the Great Canadian Theatre Company. Miss Esdon first appeared with the Blyth Festival in the 1986 pro- duction of "Drift" and also in the touring production of "Cakewalk". Tickets for "Big Girls Cry" are available at the Festival Theatre box office.
