Oscars At about hours long and rarely a slow moment The Burning Man is a good choice Director Neville Worsnop and producer Dorothy Hunt teamed up on Tim Kellys murder mystery and the result if a production which moves along well never letting the audience to get jaded with a scene The Burning Man takes place in an isolated hunting lodge in rural New Hampshire The Aubert family is called together to hear a lawyer read the will of a recently departed aristocrat At the will reading the family recall the hor rible death of a relative who was burned alive at the hands of a simpleton years earlier The play takes an eerie twist when events seem to repeat themselves at the will reading Shiona Watson plays the elderly widow Mrs Henri Aubert a wick ed widow if ever there was one Shiona has proven herself at play ing elderly ladies in the past in Second Time Around and she pulls it off with equal vigor this time around Ashley Windsor seems a natural for the role of the butler Clements and one is left wondering did he doit Joyce Holland plays Elizabeth the upright citizen disgusted with the idea of a burn ing man She proves herself ver satile however later in the play Gabrielle Vetro fits well into the part of the young dancer Dolly Adrian who shows up for the reading of the will half expecting some toot Keith Mills plays Charlie Under wood the private investigator who is placed temporarily in charge of the case while the police are held up by a driving storm Keiths Job is to establish for the audience the Chinese Puzzle which eventual ly turns into more of a pretzel His mathematics of the case helps keep the audience on track as more mystifying evidence rolls in Ron Hill fits the part of the hur ried lawyer Mr Meadows but its Steve Prevosr one of the newcomers to the cast who pro vides the muchneeded refreshing diversion in the play Steve plays the simply yet zealous police detec tive Peter Tanner whose in vestigative skills leave a bit to be desired Although Tanner is not crucial to the plot hissimple analysis providing the humor in the play is crucial to the produc tion The entire play is set inside an isolated hunting lodge and while the scene never changes the sets detailed design proves to be ver satile and interesting One cant help but think the GLT paid special attention to detail and stage production in The Burning Man The result is a production which never leaves the audience restless One tip on this play pay special attention when the murder mystery plot is revealed at the end of the play The script is a bit con fusing but the players do give the audience enough time to figure it out if theyre paying attention Globe needs musicians By MAUREEN WALKER Herald Special Globe Productions Georgetowns popular community theatre

delicately put his male organ Mark LinnBakers voice Together they make an odd couple in one body a man whose life Is ruled from his pants which women believe is usually the case with men anyway Me and Him is directed by Doris Dorrie the German director of the unusual movie Men She returns to the subject of men in this film but with less successful results The idea is intriguing but the film isnt The script wanders and the character development is poor The women in Berts life behave in the most unlikely ways Bert himself acts out of character far too often Dream episodes and reality are difficult to tell apart and the viewer doesnt even want to bother sorting them out The setting of backstabbing New York is just too familiar and tedious The cast is completely wasted Ellen Greene as the wife Carey Lowell as a lovely colleague Craig T Nelson as the big boss and Kelly Bishop as his lascivious wife This is a very disappointing film from an original talent Perhaps Ms Dorrie should stay away from American stories for a while Hollywood has a way of diluting and destroying creativity and originality A Chorus of Disapproval Jeremy Irons stars as Guy Jones a widower from Leeds who
