Camelot brings out the adventure in all
By Ray Lewis - T -A Staff
GRAND BEND - Those longing for a taste of jolly o1' England
with its mysuc tales of dragons slain, wily magicians and armoured
knights of chivalrous deeds, need not travel half as far as they think.
If it s adventure they seek, Huron County is home to the isle of Ava-
lon.
The Huron Country Playhouse has opened its doors on Lerner and
Loewe's Camelot, us final theatrical ' • ' • n of the =ion. The
Linea Way and Chdstoplier Shyer In Camelot.
epic tale of King Arthur and his knights of the round has been lovingly
dedicated to Tony Lloyd.
The story of love and betrayal based on T.H. White's The Once and Fu-
ture King. is making its run at the Playhouse until September 5. and it's
something no worthy theatre -goer should miss. The play offers something
for everyone. carrying the intrigue Artnurian tore always has smce the
monarch's supposed reign in 550.
David Naim, making his return to the Playhouse stage, comes fresh from
Les Miserables in Toronto and gives a poignant performance as Arthur
His portrayal of the absent minded king is masterful and his playful antics
help keep the piece light-hearted.
Leisa Way. who appeared as Maria in The Sound Of Music. moves the
audience with the strength of her voice alone. As Guenevere, she has
complete control throughout the musical arrangement
Christopher Shyer is wonderful in his first trip to the Playhouse stage as
Lancelot, while admirable performances-are-afso-t in by Allan Wilh-
ee and Sesln Mulcahy as Mordred and Merlyn.
But lack Northmore is a giant killer. His antics leave the audience spell-
bound as he captures both heart and imagination. He is unparalleled in the
play as King Pellmore, leading Sheeba an English sheep dog on a qbest to
slay dragons.
The set design is marvelously creative. easily wisking those with imagi-
nation off to the sixth century. Add that with Jo Zvonkin's articulate ward-
robe and a splendid clash of swords between Arthur and Lancelot, and it
• makes for a commendable evening. A mie wisp ui glory--- - - r _. •
