Emotional play
captivates crowd'
The s -year-old boy had been
missing for 21 days when the
newly -arrived neighbors came
throe -h a a w-watorm to offer a
little understanding to the
distraught and emotionally
frayed parents.
Like the tuna fish and potato
chip casserole the neighbors
brought, the emotional support
they gave was a mixed blessing.
A few hours after they arrived
there was a suicide attempt and
perhaps a separation.
Child, written by James W.
Nichol, opened July 31 at the
Blyth Summer Festival. It is an
emotional drama in which a
couple struggles with guilt, fear
and bitterness while their son is
lost.
The opening night audience
was so captivated by the
emotions developed onstage, at
many times throughout the
performance the ticking of a
watch was the most noticeable
sound.
Kate Trotter as the mother of
the missing child was excellent
and made believable an
emotional rebound after she had
attempted to take her life. Hours
after slashing her wrists in
despair, Celia, the child's
mother, dreamfully proclaimed
"all the ugly things, all the
terrible things are rust mire es"
by promising authors like James
Nichol are attracting a lot of
attention across the country. A
Calgary director noted that be
was at the performance of Child
not only to am Mr. Nichol's latest
stage effort, but to am what is
becoming an influential small
theatre in Blyth.
The Blyth Summer Festival is
influential because of the number
of new plays presented. Gwen-
doline, presented at last year's
Blyth festival, is now showing in
Calgary.
Though a fine performance,
there are a few bugs to work out
of Child. The tense father of the
lost -boy nervously smoked in the
second half of the play though he
was empty-handed and just as
excited in the first half. Kerry,
played by Peter Snell as the
husband of Dolly, was far too
humorless and rigid in his ap-
pearances for someone who
made a comfortable living as a
family counsellor.
Though a living room was the
scene of the entire play and there
wasn't a lot of movement off the
set, the emotions and tensions
between characters inept the
show from becoming static.
It's a show well worth seeing.
