Farmers .told to have pride
Huron's history returns to stage
• Although ' many persons
dismiss Canadian histbry as
being dull, their research
proves that notion to be wrong.
Theatre Critic with the
Toronto Globe and Mail, Her-
bert Whittaker, heralded the
Theatre Passe Muraille as •fast
becoming the top touring com-
pany of Ontario. He reviewed
their performance of the Far-
mers' Revolt in glowing terms
using words such as "exciting",,
"realistic", and "imaginative".
Margaret Rodger of the
Stratford Beacon Herald rated
the play as "an intimate view
of regional history and a
memorable one".
"The plight of the
homesteaders, oppressed by the
unscrupulous Toronto Clique,
' becomes so vivid that one is
almost tempted to look about
for a'pitchfork and join them in
their march on that city", she
wrote.
The mood of the performance
ranges from funny to tragic. ,
Critics have called the
quality of the acting a's first
rate when the players create
the scenes.
They have been received with
tremendous applause, and ac-
claim across Ontario whenever
they have performed.
Persons interested in finding
out why "'"The'Fartriers'Revolt

The Huron Historic Jail
Board announced last week the
touring company agreed to
stage "The Farmers' Revolt
1837" at the courtyard of the
jail beginning July 30 for five
to 10 days,
Members of Theatre Passe
Muraille set one condition
however, that the jail board
must sell at least 250 advance
tickets before they will come to
Goderieh.
According to reOiews the
theatre company has received
in the past, the play is worth
seeing. The five actors bring
history alive, portraying
famous Huron County
residents such as Tiger Dunlop
and Anthony Van Egmond.
Other characters include
William Lyon Mackenzie who
led the revolt, Bishop Strachan,
Sir Francis Bond Head, enemy
of the settlers, Canada Com-
pany officials, government of-
ficials and Huron Tract set-
tlers.
The plot emphasizes the
characters of the men who
revolted and members of the
family compact who suppressed
them.
Director Paul Thompson and
script writer Rick Salutin
resiarphed the r„evolt
thoroughly to make the play
authentic.
