Play looks at drug abuse A young, single career womari, a. middle- aged housewife whose children have grown ups and a young mother of six sit in a waiting room at their doctor's office with one thing in common—as women they're all victims of the Health • care system and the phar- maceutical industry. • The scene comes from the play, Side Ef- fects which is returning to Blyth Memorial Hall on Oct. 19 at 8:30 p.m. Performed 'by 'a cast of five 'talented and versatile women, the play portrays the situations of both Canadian and third world women. It visits the offices of the president of a multinational pharmaceutical com- pany, the doctor's office, the homes of various Canadian women and the villages 'of Bangladeshi , Mitzi House plays Granny, an old healer woman who's been around "since this dance has been going.on.",She adds humor and wisdomto the chilling facts about real life stories of women abused by .drug industries and doctors. The' rest of the cast including.' Josee Beaulieu, Heather Esdon, Laurie Fyffe and Mary Burns play a variety of characters. They tell the sad story of Mary Ann, a nurse who becomes addicted to tranquillizers and ultimately attempts suicide before beginn- ing the long, hard process or withdrawal from valium. We meet a middle-aged housewife suffer- ing.from empty -nest syndrome and a young career woman who learns she has a. rare form of cancer because her mother, during pregnancy, took DES, a wonder druglvhich was supposed to prevent miscarriage. We also meet insensitive doctors who regare.their women patients as childish, ig- norant hypochondriacs. Writing a prescrip- tion seems to be their answer for every ill. And, we meet C.B.,, the ruthless, profit - hungry president 'of Drugs For All, a multinational pharmaceutical corporation, who targets women's "health" around the 'world as the source of his.profits. Side Effects, which is touring Canada this year as a co -production of Women's Health Interaction and the Great Canadian Theatre Company, aims to encourage women to start questioning, the kinds of drugs they take and become more knowledgeable about their health. It is brought to Blyth through the co-sponsorship of Women Today and. the Ontario Arts Council.
