30 THE RURAL VOICE
For Chislett, seeing her western -
Ontario farm characters speaking
Japanese half -way around the world
"didn't seem foreign at all". By the
time she saw the Japanese production
her play had been performed so many
times in so many places that the
characters had taken on a life of their
own, she says. Besides, she says, the
interpretation by the Japanese cast
was "so spot on that it didn't seem
strange."
The Tomorrow Box returns to the
Blyth Festival with some connections
to its past success. Ann Anglin, who
first played the role of Maureen
Cooper, the woman who at long last
decides her husband won't make her
decisions for her, returns. She is
directed by Kate Trotter, who first
played her daughter-in-law who
participates in the liberation process.
Janet Amos, who fell in love with
the play so much in her first stint
as artistic director of the Blyth
Festival, brought back the play this
season, her second since she returned
to the Festival last year. She once
played the part of Maureen herself,
and also produced The Tomorrow
Box at Theatre New Brunswick when
she headed that theatre in the mid-
1980s after leaving Blyth.
"I wanted to do the play because
it's a terrific comedy and because it
deals with female/male relationships
in a wonderful way that doesn't put
anyone down," she said. Although
the play was originally set in the late
1970s after the famous Murdoch case
in which the supreme court decided a
farm wife was entitled to half the
farm's assets on divorce because of
the contribution she had made to the
business over her lifetime, Amos
says the play is not dated. The type
of problems Jack and Maureen
Cooper face in the play will probably
always be with us, she says.
Those characters, as witnessed by
the popularity of The Tomorrow Box
in Japan, have universal appeal, but
they're rooted specifically in Ontario.
Amos recalls auditioning one of the
actors for the part of Jack, the family
patriarch. The actor wondered if the
farmer could be an American farmer
instead of a Canadian farmer. "I
don't think so!" Amos told him.
"Even the Japanese made him a
Huron County farmer..." who just
happened to speak Japanese.0
