Is the story of Annie Sullivan and her miracle with the blind deaf mute Helen Keller played by Amanda Roxborough The part of Annie Sullivan la well played by Sue Dunning whose other performances with GLT include the stately Reverend Mother In A Letter From the General Amanda Roxborough captivates the audience from the moment she walks on the stage The relationship of Annie and Helen grows from the moment they meet and together they strengthen each others performance of the difficult and demanding roles Learning not to see and hear la very difficult added director Fred Blind people do not stumble around banging Into walls but it the little things that create con fusion The determination of Sue Dunning as a teacher and the need for the child to learn provide the necessary motivation for all actions In he play Work began on the production almost one year ago when director Fred Thury began research into plays that would be suitable for the group to produce Mr Thury Is no stranger to he members of GLT as he conducted a series of drarqa and theatre workshops earlier and at heir request returned to direct heir final production for the current season Funds for Mr services as director

Intricate scene many of which must occur In total darkness for maximum effect Special lighting for the production was designed and built by Harvey Lee winner of the adjudicators award for A Letter

to be blind and deaf until the final moment the bondlsalwayathere the one of love between a mother and her daughter regardless of what separates the two Ron Hill as Captain Keller stubbornly yields to the wishes of Kate Annie and the other members he encounters during the play Years of hardened experience and determination have set Captain Keller to be over cautious and sometimes doubtful but not Insensitive to the magic of Anne Sullivan Aunt played by Greta Lee lstheloveableauntwealt visited on Sunday afternnons as children and whom we will never forget The simple warm human character shows a love for the child with a strong family bond Everyone must remember an aunt who said If the child doesn t want to why make her Other cast members Include John Roe as a doctor Margaret McGrath as Martha Paul McGrath as Percy Anagnos as played by Bob Lee Vlnney the portly servant played by Joanne Grant The role of Jimmy played by Gary Grant changes from that of comic relief to one of great insight and openness again under the magic of Anne Sullivan as he challenges the opinion and actions of the stubborn and dominant Captain Keller The blind girls were played by Cathy Webb Nicola Joynes Stephanie Gorin and Elizabeth Willoughby voices are also done by Stephen Bigg Greta Lee Lupton John and Fred Thury A new technique for GLT was employed effectively by the director to overcome the physical limitations of the Wrigglesworth stage Seven different acting areas were required to tell the full story A scrim to separate the main acting area from those of the smaller sots wos used Carefully selected props added to create the full feeling of these sets which represented a garden house the porch of the Keller Homestead thefrontyordand the Perkins Institute for the Blind The two main set areas were furnished In the period of tho 1B00 consistent with the costumes and storyline Many of tho scene changes were done In total darkness adding another dimension to the already complex
