ters' Supply Shop when they have

others which were family heir-
looms. Other items included quilt-
ed wall hangings, aprons, a
reversible jacket which c)in be mag-

'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.
