Wednesday, August 20, 2005 Orono Weekly Times - 5 , , Bpjilii- David French's That Summer opens at 4th Line Theatre MILLBROOK, ON - I cried that joy could come so easily, for then I knew It must break with as little warning. The poetry of Henry Treece inspires a sensual recollection of 1950s cottage country in David French's That Summer, opening on August 18 at 4th Line Theatre. That Summer evokes memories embedded in our collective Canadian consciousness consciousness -- memories of pavilion dances, wildflowers, Marilyn Monroe, kissing lessons, lessons, moonlight rowboat trips, midday swims and languid summer afternoons at the cottage. cottage. This is an intimate play about the awkward, innocent, playful first love of teenagers in summer. A departure from 4th Line Theatre's notorious focus on local history and collaborative, collaborative, original writing, That Summer is the story of two sisters and their magical summer at an Ontario cottage in 1958 The play explores first love and the pain of loss as Maggie, now a grandmother, grandmother, revisits the cottage to reflect on her past. Set in a golden meadow at the 5th generation Winslow Farm, the field dips gently into a glen, cradling audience and actors alike, the rich landscape stirring stirring Maggie's summer memories memories and, undoubtedly, those of her audience. "I was struck by the intimacy intimacy of the script, the relationships relationships between the two young sisters and their father, and the discovery of first love in summer," says director Kim Blackwell. "These are relationships relationships that we can all relate to. Anyone who has spent a summer at the cottage, anyone who knows the beauty of first love and the awkwardness of teenagehood can relate to this play." This is Kim Blackwell's fifth directing credit with 4th Line Theatre. Past audiences lauded Blackwell's direction of Crow Hill: The Telephone Play, Cavan Blazers, Attrition and Gimme That Prime Time Religion.
