Farm Show returns
to its rural roots
GODERICH TWP. - Back in 1972, area
residents got their first taste of original
Canadian theatre. The Farm Show, a pro-
duction of Toronto's Theatre Passe Muraille
thrilled local audiences.
Part of the play's local appeal was the
script, developed from first hand conversa-
tion with the farm folk who lived along the
Maitland and the 16th concessions of
Goderich Township.
The Farm Show brought to the theatre the
story of rural life in southwestern Ontario.
Staged in a local barn, the production told
about life in Goderich Township through
songs and poems, skits and monologues.
It featured a cast of six, including Janet
'Amos, Anne Anglin, David Fox, Fina Mac-
Donell, .Milegs Potter and Alan Jones and
was directed by Paul Thompson. That
young cast has gone on to become some of
the most well known names in Canadian
theatre'today, particularly with their work
through the Blyth Festival.
As well, the play went on to earn national
recognition. It was. performed at the Strat-
ford Shakespearean Festival and played at
the International Art Centre in Ottawa.`
The Farm Show was performed for a
season in Toronto and was toured in Saskat-
chewan and Manitoba. In 1976 it played in
Vancouver, then went overseas; for a five
week debut in England and Wales.
Canadian poet Michael Ondaatje took the
script, developed it into a film and won the
Governor General's Award for his -inter-
pretation.
•A film version of the play was also
featured on CBC' -TV and TV -Ontario also
filmed the play for use in the school system.

Hat e you et er wondered how a new play

Both scripts are untitled at the moment.
The first, by 'Toronto playwright Bryan
Wade, is set in Holland during World War II.
Three Canadian soldiers, caught behind
enemy lines during a reconnaissance
mission, seek refuge in a Dutch farmhouse.
The script is being workshopped from

from January 28 to February 1 is a new
comedy by Montreal playwright Colleen
Curran.- author of last season's popular
show Cake -Walk. This new script is about a
woman whose political protest activities get
her into all sorts of trouble - with her
employer, her family, her friends, and just
abotyt everyone else! Katherine Kaszas, the
vat's w ' Artistic Director and •
director of las .season's Cake -Walk and the
sell-out hit G rrison's Garage, is directing
this wor p. The actors are Mary Ann
Coles, Ron Gabriel, Terry Harford' Deborah
K_immett, Nancy Roberts, and Patricia
Vanstone.
There two workshops, culminating in the
public reading on February 2, are only the
tip of the iceberg. The Blyth Festival has
run playwrights' workshops during the
summer for several years now but Ms.
Kaszas' aim is to make the program year-
round. "It is up to the Blyth Festival to act
as a resource centre for playwrights,
providing them with the space, arid
professional directors and actors. The Blyth
Festival is growing, not bigger gut better.
Both scripts being workshopped at the
moment are possibles for inclusion in our
summer season but, as with all new scripts,
there are a few bugs to be worked out first."
Wade and Curran will be on hand for both
the workshops and the public reading. It is
hoped there will be a third workshop in
March and three more during the SW1111101'
months.

Blyth Festival at 523-9300,
