Midnight a chiller BY JIM HEER Suspensea,terror and comedy are three words that easily describe Peter Colley's play 11,1 Be Back For You Before Midnight, now playing at the Blyth Summer Festival. Opening last Tuesday, Midnight is a spine tingling play with heavy emphasis placed on surprise. Colley's combination of suspense and comedy kept Tuesday evening's audience on the edge of their seats, but with unwitting smiles on their faces. Set in rural Ontario, Midnight is about two people who hope to revive their strained relationship by moving out of the big city to a small farmhouse. With the help of an eccentric neighbour and in obsessed sister, they soon find lif,e in the country Is not all they had planned for. Although characters came across Weakly during certain par -Li of the play, Tuesday evening's performance was a hit with tIA audience. So mach so, that at some points. It became difficult to understand lines because of the audience's delighted shrieks of terror. A vendetta between life in the country and life In the city, Midnight is back for its second season -with the Blyth Summer Festival. Opening for the first time in Blyth last year. this year a revised edition is playing in sevelal other cities. Miles Potter, who is best known as an actor with Theatre Passe Muraille productio-ns of The Farm Show and 1837: The Farmers' Revolt, takes full advantage of props, staging and lighting to eteate Midnight's aura of suspense. Mr. Potter who is directing a second production at Blyth, St. SAM of the Nuke Pile, had his interpretation of Midnight well received Tuesday night and the tudietee demonstrated its appreciation with a standing ovation. Playing the part of Greg, the husband who wants to rebuild his marriage with his wife Jan, but also maintain his sordid' relationship with his stepsister, Laura, is Tom Arnott. Best 'know for his work with Theatre London and Centre Stage, Mr. Arnett plays Greg ,with strong abrupt erntions. Unfortunately, at times the,emotions come across a bit stronger then necessary. Dianna BbIshaw plays the part of Jan, the middle-aged wife who finds life's dramas difficult to handle and Is therefore in and out of hospital. She is Laura's rival, competing for Greg's time and attention. However, all the time she is terrified that they are plotting against her, ever sure if the things she sett and hears as plots are fact or fantasy. Although Miss Belshaw confused some characters' names in 4elivering ilea lines, she played the part of Jan with the confusion and sharp emotion necessary to convince the audience she .had recently been released from a mental institution. Her shrill screams alone were enough to set last Tuesday's audience off into a series of giggles and_shrieks. Playing the part of Laura. the vampish sister who torments Jan and intimidates Greg. is Anne Anglin, originally of Theatre Passe Miifitille in Toronto. Mies Anglin gives the strongawilied character the cold determinatioh she well deserves. 'a Probably the audience's favorite character was George, the old farmer who loves a mystery and continues to keep the audience laughing with hum:nous inter- jections. Played by ex -Albertan log house builder Hardee Lineham, George plays the fool until he reveals his true eharactet and motive in the ptay's surprise ending. Pat Flood's sets demonstrate the conflict of country and city life that is important to the story's development: The stage is furnished with old tablea, chairs, lamps and faded floral wallpaper, and contrasting new gold range add modern stereo system. All in all, Midnight is an effective piece of suspense that doesn't seem to bother you much until you're driving home on thoae black comatey roads after the play, just about midnight. 1./$7 7410741I145.115.. 1.00 7 TH OWS CHEVY OiASE C4ddy - A "LIFE OF a MAN" ° shack ,Or 57ART5 FINCIAT, 1005 14 71-4 least -ft *ewer thin e epeedeet te117. area abler tes PM tea beabaregs et 2 tetra benne aaa, 11, a s.e, 4Ntt o !Ail •••••2 .40c, •,0 • ••••.4. ..e<4 va•11 John rtavolta Olivia Newton -John is the word WATS EMRICH A CONCESSION RD. 4 • PlIOANE 5#24.1402.9.11 affkArcri. _ WOW PIA TOM A1,1 6 14 'CH WKSWriuts tifl& SA: t44 0.610 n• r.Uw Mut.; 441 • .• "46 Ci‘ItaTerl tht-c ki-Cre 4111r44Tet ke‘j a kIst trop:cal Isr,,and rho, grov. t4l3 and beattntul And uhen theta we happens. g iti:"4,, natural as the sea Itself and a's fiilkx:erful KE; :g3611C-6 aisa- BROOKE SHIE L DS • HRLSTOPE1E R ATKIN:S 'PARK ootaalcri o H •U PHO,NE 524 7811 AER CON,DITIONt 0 •41, As, • J, 40/10.4.41., OA, a Shouldice, preaident of the Star Cellege in -Sault Ste.
