Fialion Hills Thig Week? Wednesday’ May'12, 1893 = Page's a, : Entertainment The Mikado a triumph for Globe . By John Sommer “The Mikado” by Arthur Sullivan and William S. Gilbert, the latest offering of Globe Productions at the John Elliott Theatre in Georgetown, is a tri- umph. It’s one of those rare pro- ductions where everything has gone miraculously right, with the result that this 108 year-old comic opera has a sparkle and polish that makes it new and rivetting. Don’t hesitate a moment, but get your tickets fast. Only four more perfor- mances are planned - tonight (Wednesday), Thursday, Friday and Saturday”. Greg Diakun, the musical direc- tor, has rehearsedvhis singers to a fine pitch, and Elise Dewsberry, the artistic director and choreogra- pher, keeps the large cast acting and moving as if they had never done anything else. Jacky Willows has designed sets that are the most stylish I have seen in any local production so far, and Cedric Briggs, responsible for the lighting design, has created out- standing effects. The very beautiful Indecent Proposal provokes debate By Lawson Oates and Dawn Wood It is said that one does not watch the movie of English-born director, Adrian Lyne, but rather debates them. Indecent Proposal is no exception. The story centres around David and Diana Murphy (Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore), a young, carefree couple working up the corporate ladder until the reces- sion sends them into an economic tailspin. Desperate for cash to save their house, they head for the roulette and crap tables in the hope of winning some quick money. While they are on the gambling roller coaster, a flashy billionaire, John Gage (Robert Redford), spots Diana and becomes infatuated with her. Gage offers the Murphy’s $1 million dollars if he can have Diana for one evening. The debate begins. costumes delight the eye, and the GEORGETOWN CIN 235 Guelph Street 873-1909 Movie Review Donald Trump type of tycoon — at least in his golden period (money galore, boats, helicopters, houses, etc.). Wood Harrelson will carry his Cheers sitcom persona with him throughout his career. During some scenes in Indecent Proposal, you expect the waitress Carla to jump in with a witty, snide remark. This a has been somewhat off-set by his role in White Men Can’t Jump and through the steamy kitchen floor scenes with Moore.

Robert Long plays Nanki-Poo as a sweet and persistent man in search of his love. Nanki-Poo’s sweetheart, Yum-Yum, thrillingly performed by Lena Shura; Brigida Callaghan’s Pitti-Sing, and Grace Pepper’s Peep-Bo, are a most entertaining trio. Opposite them, Ko-Ko, the former tailor and now Lord High Executioner, played with great comic verve, to the very hilt of his “snickersnee”, by Joe Del Guidice; Pooh-Bah, the venal aristocrat, as presented by the mel- low-voiced Roderick Macintosh and Pish-Tush, the high official par excellence, played by David Ambrose as a man in constant ter- or. Sandra Greig is a sensational Katisha. Her great song “The hour of gladness is dead and gone; In silent sadness I live alone!” is one of the highlights of the first act. “One more truly amazing perfor- mance needs to be mentioned: Keith Mills turns the Mikado, when he finally appears, into a slithery reptile of monstrous pro- Om 354 Guelph St, Unit 27, Georgetown, Ont.

There is a ladies. chorus of six well-trained and shapely singers in shimmering kimonos, and a chorus of six handsome men in a variety of splendidly-padded and patterned outfits. All these lusty voices com- bine to create a full and ravishing sound that raises the roof of our elegant little theatre. ~ Has this anything to do with Japan? Of course not. In the delightful tradition of English non- sense literature, Gilbert’s libretto is absolutely nonsensical. All of the Gilbert and Sullivan. operas are satirical send-offs of the British Empire that was at its very peak 100 years ago. And the British, being a people with a remarkable sense of humor, did not find the way Gilbert and Sullivan made fun of them objectionable. On the con- trary, both got knighted: Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan by Queen Victoria. and Sir William Schwenck Gilbert by her son, King Edward.

The move somewhat repeats itself in this fashion, but it is David’s regrounding that overshad- ows the efforts of Diana. Redford carries off the role of John Gage with gusto.
