both ',conic and tragic'
moments.'
The play centers around
Mut Munn played by David
Fox, a Newfoundland miner '
who has his entire existence
wrappee aigund the tiny
town of Tilt Cove and its
copper mine, Dwindling re- ,
serves at the mine, with hope
bouyed only by a chance of
discovery of a new vein,
threaten to end the town's
existence• .
The mine 4s3:like a
benevolent god to John, and
he doesn't want to believe it
could dry up' and leave the
town's economy in a
shambles. •
John's stubborn belief that
the mine will continue- to
produce • is ,encouraged
throughout the play by
Fudge, a weathered old
character, played by Hardee
Lineham, Fudge is the spirit
of the town, the soul and
conscience of John, and the
figurative owner of the mine,
the town and the people.
Fudge reinforces John's
dedication to the town and
the mine while all of his
fellow miners, even his son,
are packing up and heading
off to other towns and cities
to begin a new life.
Living, dying and con-
tributing to your community
is the substance of a man's
life for John, and the
treasonous' desires of his
friends to leave are beyond
his comprehension. His wife,
the Misses, played by Anne
Anglin, struggles between
her wish to leave and her
conunitment to stand by her
husband until John suffers a
serious injury In a mine
accident. The accident
solidifies her resolve to
leave.
Fax, Lineham and Aniglin
all give solid performances
and the anguish, confusion
and frustration of John and
his wife are explicit and
believable. Allan Bridle is
excellent in a number of
smell parts. •

Nukes now -have St. Sam
BY JIM BEER
Almost everyone has a
patron saint. Sailors hifve S.
Elmo, gunners have St Eat•
bara, the Irish have St,
Patrick and now, with the
help of writer Ted Johns and
the Blyth Summer Festival,
the Nukes have, St.' Sam.
Opening last Tuesday eve-
ning at the Blyth Centre for
the Arts, St. Sam of the Nuke
Pile is a refreshing, inform-
ative look at the contro-
versies which surround nuc-
lear energy.
A 'character study of five
people entwinednn the un-
ceitainties of nuclear power,
St. Sam of the Nuke Pile is an
education in nuclear issues.
Although the play starts
slowly and, at points, char-
acters' lines develop into
speeches and then lectures
on the pros and cons of
nuclear development, writer
Ted Johns offsets any painful
education with humorous
antidotes.
Set at the Bruce Nuclear
Power Development, the
play focuses on five char-
acters, Howard, the plant
manager, his well-ethic:10d
wife Joan, his assistant Paul,
his paranoid niece Holly,
who works as a tour guide at
the plant and Sam, the man
whose dreams solve all the
problems of nuclear waste
and who the others playfully
dub a saint.
BARD -NOSED
Played by Tom Arnott,
Sam is an entrepreneur who
worships the hard-nosed

financial successes of the
past, who faithfully followed
their dreams. Sam's dream
is to use nuclear waste
products and steam to heat
greenhouses, homes and
,towns, reorienting the Can-
adian industrial base:
Mr. Arnott plays the char-
acter with the tunnel vision it
well deserves. Unable to
understand anyone else's
views but his own, Sam is
strong willed and Mr. Arnott
delivers that efficiently with
signs of a Clark Gable style
breaking through his char-
acter. At some points, you
'almost expect Sam's next
line to be "frankly Scarlet, I
don't..."
Strong performances were
given by both Seana Mc-
Kenna, playing the part of
Holly, the young tour guide
who is afraid nuclear disaster
ik just around the itr• net and
Diana Belshaw who plays
Joan, the plant manager's
wife who, argues die other
side of the nuclear coin.
Howard, the plant mane-
ger,played by' William Dun-
lop, is a character who has
lost his youthful nuclear
inspiration. He still argues in
favor of nuclear energy. but
Is older now and becoming
more susceptible to his
wife's continual counter
arguments.

gaudy tics, plays the part
with color and flare. His
biggest drawback is net look-
ing old enough to be the
aging plant manager.
Howard's young assistant
Paulis played by John Jarvis
who gives the character a
youthful impetuous flavor.
Miles Potter, known best
as an—actor with Theatre
Passe Muraille productions
like The Farm Show and
1837: The Farmers' Revolt,
expands his talents as direct-
or of St. Sam of the Nuke
Pile. Ifis direction provides
tight, well timed and staged
scenes and Mr. Potter makes
effective use of lighting and
sound to relay the nuclear
message.
Pat Flood's sets gracefully
/mos ethe play from beginse-
' ning—to end. Her imaginative
designs are easily trans-
formed from office scenes,
• livingroom and bedroom
scenes into scenes at the
Bruce plant. Even • more
effective with lighting by
James Boudreau, Miss
Flood's designs never be-
came boring or burdensome.
With insight into the lives
of those who work in the
world of nuclear energy, St.
Sam of the Nuke Pile effect-
ively delivers. its message -
whether you want it or not,
nuclear power is here.
