The car, a 1947 Crosley, features a powerful Ford flathead engine, and was designed, engineered and buit entirely by the owner. Lukkari used nitrogen cylinders to hold the body up, and to assist in raising and lowering the body effortlessly. The recently completed car started its long jrney to Bowmanville af ter only 8 miles of testing. Lukkari spent 2,000 hours designing, and 6 years building the car. Note the use of Model "A" Ford fenders. Photo by Rick James "Twice a Kni[ght" Clever, Witïty Well Received by Liz Armstrong A spicy, aduit comedy set in llth century England, opened the season last Wednesday evening for the Harbour Theatre. "Twice a Knight", written by Newcastle Village lawyer, Charles Ewert, and directed by his wife Kathy, drew plaudits from first-nigbters gatbered in the big red and white tent at the Port of Newcastle. Mr. Ewert bias cleverhy woven a series of fancî ful plots and counterplots inito the script, and the result is anl unpredictable venture into the absurd. The humorous juxta- position of words and events requires sharp timing from tbe cast of 11, and they were welh prepared for -the chal- lenge. t was apparent tbat the audience was tborougbly plea- sed witb tbis ffirst-ever perfor- mnance of the play./ To set tbe stage, imagine England in the era of William Jiufus. Henry, the youngest son of William tbe Conqueror, bias been eut out of an inheritance by bis father, and feeling cbeated, plots to over- tnrow nis olcier oroîner. King William, aware of the treacherous plot, sends bis two most trusted knigbts to the conspiratorial meeting in South Hampton witb a letter from the traitorous William of Eu, whlo lbas been detained in London by tlhe Iging. And bere thle stage story begins, witb historical fact set aside in fa3vor of lusty fantasy. t Is n amusingly complex story, too0, withi our heroes, Sir Guy of Rockinghami and Sir Water of Hungerford, quickly diverted from- their main mission by the charms of Lady Adelice, worldlly wife of a wealtby but rather short- sigbted Lord Gilbert of Cair. The Inn-keeper's daugbater also has an iron In the fîre, and one thing leads to anoter.. several others, in fact. Any further attempt to unravel the complicated strands of the story would not onhy spoil the f un for those wbo bave aready booked reserva- tions, it wouhd require the talents of a superior egal mind, preferabhy Mr. Ewert's. Hence, it's easier to recom- mend visiting tbe Port of Newcastle one of tbese even- ings to catch this lively perfor- mance first-hand. Michael Clarke, who phays the role of the roguish iover Sir Guy, and Mr. E-wert, wbo himself portrays the convert- ed prude Sir Water, deserve special mention for their excellent performances. Bar- bara Cunningbam, as Lady Adeice, lends beauty and talent to tbe leading lady's wihy rohe. The supporting cast did a fine ob, too_ and tbey kept the uîkpace of the comedy=mvigahong welh. Mr. Ewert has written three phays prior to "Twîce a Knight".* "A Sailor's Tale" and "Run Swifthy, Stand Free" were performed hast summner at the Harbour Thea- tre. He bas been invohved in theatre ýsince bis universîty days at Queen's and Carleton. "Twice a Knigbt" is the first production for, Mrs. Ewert since bigb schooh, and if she was nervous for the opening, sbe didn't betray ber jitters. The members of the comn- pany, wbo corne from Bow- manvihle, Newcastle and the surrounding area,, rehearsed under a pair of light buhbs until about two weeks ago, wben the 'giant tent wias outfitted with professional equipment. 1 The Port of Newcastle donated tbe tent to the theatre group free of charge, and it paid for some of the advertis- ing and props. The company itsehf must meet other finan- cmal needs through tickets sales and private donations. The tbeatre, for those wbo baven't yet seen it on the inside, bas a capacity of 120, which ensures an 'excellent seat for any patron.
