Arts grants still open RICHMOND HILL â€" Bill Noughton‘s All In Good Time is an authentic slice of Lancashire working class life, which is beautifully recreated on the Curtain Club stage, with little to indicate the play had travelled over 3,000 miles. But good plays. like good wine, can travel well if handled with care and skill. The plot centres around a newlyâ€"wed couple whose marriage remains unconsummated after six weeks. How this couple solves its problems develops into a moving story â€" hilarious at times â€" but genuinely moving, as the playwright weaves While Bob Leon and Martha Buell play the young couple with engaging sensitivity, the acting plaudits must go to Clive Ryland and Jean Halliwell who play the parents of the unhappy bridegroom. Superb mother Jean Halliwell is superb as the mother, especially funny as the smarmy Joe Thompson who snidely offers his services to the virgin bride. There is an uproarious scene when his wife [beautifully played by June Abbott) learns of the offer and tears into him verbally and physically. Laughs there are Ray Whelan, co~ director of the theatre, The transition was startling for most playgoers when they saw veteran Curtain Club performer Clive Ryland without both his beard and savoire-faire as the stern father in All in Good Time. However, that didn‘t deter from his performance. which reviewer. Tom Davey, called “almost perfect.“ through the intricate web of working-class values and attitudes. Before - after By Tom Davey ’All in Good Time’ great time for all when she dreamin recreates the time she was unfaithful nearly three decades earlier. Her accent, demeanour and attitude at all times are the very epitome of a spirited Lancashire housewife Clive Ryland is almost perfect as the gas works laborer; a brash cocky ignorant man, whose heart of gold is concealed by his contempt for his son‘s sensitive values and love of music and books. Hard to fault this cast anywhere.

Although the play reaches its inevitable conclusion, we are still s u r p r i s e d a n d emotionally involved all the way. Director Brian Moore and his producers Beryl Radke and Pera Miller have brought forth a production which must rate well in the Drama Festival.

O n e g l a r i n g anachronism was the presence of Guiness bottles bearing the un- deniable shape of our standard Canadian bottles. The Curtian Club rarely suffers lapses like this. Indeed, the liquid coffee bottle, although strange to Canadian eyes, is a more usual example of the painstaking thoroughness of the club productions. As a comedy, this play is highly recommended.
