Photo courtesy of Marigold Dinner Playhouse Golden Pond sparkles again BY TIM BAINES COMMUNITY EDITOR It was a role made in heaven. Murray Westgate could flot possibly have done any better recreating the character of Norman Thayer Jr. in On Golden Pond,, which opened Friday niglit at Whit- by's- Marigold Dinner Playhouse. It was a brillant per- formance by Westgate. He was the archetype of the cynical old man, who can find nothing to do but complain and talk about death. Each summer, Thayer and his wife Ethel escape to their cottage on Golden Pond. On this particular year, Norman has ail but given up the wii to live but then someting happesn that begins to bring out the com- passion that lias been penned up for years in- side him. He befriends a 15- year-old kid named Bily. This friendsMip brings Norman out of Mis cocoon and gets hlm ac- tive eacli day as the two constantly set out on fishing ,expeditions,. trying to better each other in size of fish caught. Norman's burst of compassion also gradually extends to his daughter, Clielsea, whom lie had neyer reaily accepted' as a girl, but rather brouglit lier up as if she was a boy. The summer on Golden Pond leads to many hilarious momen- ts as weil as some exremnely touching scenes. It la definitely the best play this season at the Marigold Westgate, an in- stitution, as the friendly Imperial Oil man on Hockey Niglit in Canada, proves that lie is still a brilliant actor. Henry Fonda, Nor- man Thayer in the .movie version, would be proud of Westgate's per- formance. HMs facial expressions and craggy tone of voice kept the audience spellbound to the end. The, supporting cast were ail superb. Doris Petrie played Norman's wife and was a very ef- fective foil for Mis ac- tions. Lmnda Goranson, playing Chelsea, provided some of the more serious, touching moments i the play and did an excellent job. Richard Fltzpatrick, although not appearing too mucli, did well in a one-on-one talk wlth old Norman. Michael Donaghue as Charlie Martin, the mailman, provided somfe- of the most hilarious moments with lis wharped sense of humour and Mis unique laugli. Paul Tougli, as Billy, was the individualwho Most influenced Nor- man. He- acted the part excellently as his frien- dsMip ewitli Norman blossomed. Director Ken Livingstone, producers Nuala FitzGerald and Larry Solway-and- stage manager David Wallett, are also to be congratulated for -this fine performance. The Marigold Dinner Playhouse, 419 Broçk St. N., wil be showing the play once nightly Tuesday tlirough Friday and Sunday, and twice on Saturday, from July 20 to September 4. Bouti tho Sales.
