Page 28 THE HERALD Wednesday February 8 Actors prepare for Night Must Fall performances By MARY JANE WALZAK Herald Special Preparation for an appearance on stage is often one of the most important tasks of an actor It can be very difficult to put yourself in the place of the character you are supposed to be portraying and it can be the little things that aid you The actors in the next play for the Georgetown Little Theatre Night Must Pall are already do ing their preparations I was at rehearsal the other night and noticed that Vera Macdonald who is playing Mrs Bramaon in this show did not get out of her wheelchair for the entire evening The character of Mrs Bramson is an invalid who spends all of her time in a wheelchair and by the time the play opens Vera will be almost as much of a pro on those wheels as the character would have been Cousins This led me to wonder how the other acton were handling their preparations Gibson who is portraying the niece Olivia said jokingly that she had been hanging around with murderers Some ac tors think of people they have met in the past Willows said that her character of Dora the maid was going to be modelled after a hotel maid she met in England who was ex ceedingly dense and a little bit sluttish Margaret Eggleton thinks that the character of Mrs Terrence the cook is very much like the cook in the series UpstairsDownstairs especially in the way she meddles in the lives of the people she works with Ron Hunt who is playing Inspec tor reads the script in depth to bring out his character and continually studies similar characters that appear on TV and is a family affair If you should fall in love today more than just your life and your partners will be affected by the relationship And thats what Cousins a new romancecomedy is all about Often love stories are about two people and bow their lives change said Joel Schumacher Cousins director In reality when people fall in love the lives of many other people their family and friends are also affected And thats what we tried to do in Cousins The movie inspired by the 1975 hit French film Cousin Cousine opens Feb in Canada Ted Cheers and Isabella portray friends who become relatives when his un cle marries her mother When wife and s hus band have an affair it sets off a romantic chain reaction that In volves their entire families which seems understandable Billy Crystal who received Em my nominations the past two years for his efforts as host of the Gram my Awards is stepping up to that microphone again He is the host of the 31st annual Grammy Awards the recording industrys roost prestigious award show LIVE BANDS Fn Feb 1011 Sat Matinee 3 6 EVIL ANGEL BAND in films Sometimes the actors are called upon to take up an unfamiliar ac cent or gesture Doug Ladoucer has been preparing for his role of Hubert by practising his accent with an understanding pompous English business associate Armstrong who plays Nurse Lib- by has also been practising her cent and has added pulsetaking to her list of required skills You can get an idea from this sampling how varied the actors can get in their approach to a role In addition to the preparations of the actors the set decorators are also hard at work Lois and Dorothy Hunt have succeeded in their search for a 1930s style wheelchair Dorothy says that it took her 20 phone calls but she tually located five wheelchairs Unfortunately two of the chairs were too valuable for their owners to consider lending them and two were in such a state of disrepair mat their owners were afraid that they would fall apart Luckily the Queen Elizabeth Hospital has one that is in good repair and that they are willing to lend That solves a major problem for the set decorators GLT is still looking for an old fashioned paraffin can so if you have one in your garage or barn give Dorothy a call at Night Must Fall opens at the John Elliott Theatre on Feb 17 and continues Feb 18 22 and 25 If you would like tickets for this thrilling
