PANTHER PRINTS

Newfoundland Play Mirrors Island Concerns

(Press Release)

When Newfoundlanders Berni Stapleton and Amy House take to the stage at the Carrefour Theatre this Thursday, they will be dealing with issues all too familiar to Islanders. A Tidy Package isa play about the fishery crisis in Newfound- land, and how it affects the lives of two women who have lost their fish plant jobs because of it. Though the circumstances are somewhat different here on PEI, people in communities such as Souris where the fish plant burned down have been faced with the same kinds of problems, and the play deals with some of the more universal problems faced by the women in the fishery as well.

A Tidy Package was a huge success in Newfoundland, garnering rave reviews and packing houses right across the prov- ince. Berni Stapleton, who stars in the play, was last seen in Charlottetown as a featured performer at the Ladies Room Festival in July. She is currently one of Newfoundland’s hottest writers and directors.

A Tidy Package will be performed at the Carrefour Theatre on Thursday, November 23 at 8:00 pm. Tickets can be purchased at the Confederation Center box office, or by calling 566-1267.

UPEI will be hosting a Bardathon -- 12 hours of

Shakespeare readings -- to help raise money to rebuild the Globe Theatre in London, England. The money donated by UPEI, and other member schools, will be used to recreate the "heavens", which is a painted canopy to be placed over the stage of the theatre. If we can raise $500, our university will recieve a time capsule to be buried in the Globe’s stage. Everyone is welcome to stop by to watch, participate, or donate to the fund.

759 Last speech, from The Tempest: Our revels now are ended. These our actors (As | foretold you) were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air, i And like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud capp’d tow’rs, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And like this insubstantial pageant faded Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
