New play
in Blyth

play to Blyth Memorial Hall on
Saturday, March 30 at 2 p.m. Land
of Trash, a special show for chil-
dren aged 3 to 10 year old is spon-
sored by CKNX FM 102.
Two young explorers, Nuke and
Styder, complete with costumes and
colourful paraphernalia from the
21st century, are scavenging for ar-
ticles to trade for food in the city.
They soon discover something they
have never seen before - green
plants and clean water. These rare
treasures are carefully tended by an
old man who reniembers a time be-
fore trash and chemical wastes poi-
soned the earth. The question is,
how will they protect them in a
thirsty and plantless world? •
Where docs our garbage go? Is
there enough room on planet earth
for us and our garbage? Land of
Trash looks at the long-term conse-
quenccs of environmental pollution
and brings home our need to care
for the living things which share
our planet. Written by Ottawa play-
wright Ian Tamblyn, Land of Trash
suggests to children how they can
take an active roll in protecting
their environment. Ian Tamblyn is
well known in the world of Canadi-
an performing arts.
Currently writer -in -residence at
the Great Canadian Theatre Compa-
ny in Ottawa, he is author of sever-
al plays for children, and is espe-
cially known for his contribution to
the Canadian music scene. Visually
rich and complemented by a dramat-
ic soundscapc by Tamblyn, the play
captures the imagination of children
while delivering its message in an
entertaining way.
