comes to the Blyth

The Blyth Festival will be showing
Wingfield's Inferno by Dan Needles this
Friday at Blyth Memorial Hall.
Wingfield's Inferno is a one-man show
staring Rod Beattie as Walt Wingfield. It
tells the story of Walt and his communi-
ty's efforts to rebuild Orange Hall after it
burns down. The fire causes devastation
because of the hall's significance to Walt
and the community. "We've seen so
many things happen for Walt, to Walt.
His first child is born in the Orange Hall
during the ice storm. There are a lot of
important moments that have hap-
pened in that hall," said Needles.
The play was inspired by Needles'
own connection to his hometown of
Rosemont's Orange Hall. "I got my first
kiss was in the parking lot under the
chestnut tree. My first play was put on
in the Orange Hall."
Just before he began writing Wing -
field's Inferno Needles witnessed the
impact that the burning down of the
Masonic Hall in Collingwood had on
the community, "I remember seeing
the faces on the street and all these
people weeping. And I saw the connec-
tion they had. It was really quite mov-
ing." Needles also witnessed the
hardships and loopholes that come
when trying to rebuild so he wanted to
put Walt through that.
This play is one in the seven -part
Wingfield Series that Needles began
writing in 1984. The series stem from
Needles' reporting days when he would
write Letters to the Editor from the fic-
tionalized character. He found that
when he wrote he started to make
sense of the world.
Plays start with a single vision with
the writer but evolve past that, said
Needles. It takes a lot of time and effort
from the actors before the play
becomes what its supposed to be. "It
can't start without that single vision but
once the vision is on the page then it
has to be willing to adapt and change,"
Needles said. As a writer he has to
know when he has to leave it to others,
he added.
Needles' first two plays became
successful when he was 35 -years -old
and only then did he decide to "take
the leap" and do it professionally.
Needles has since been appointed
Member of the Order of Canada by
the Governor General.
Wingfield's Inferno starts at 8 p.m on
April 24 at Blyth Memorial Hall. Tickets
are $34.
