The Island Remembers Returns To Stage

Theatre Prince Edward Island’s hit show about this province’s contribution in World War II has been remounted and will be presented in four Island communities from No- vember 6th to 12th.

Through drama and music the production pays tribute to the grit and resilience of Islanders during the Second World War. Conceived and directed by Ron Irving, with a script by well known Island playwright Michael Hennessey, the show features ‘‘The Venerables’’ who share their personal experiences of those eventful years. Mark Stevenson heads a large supporting cast.

The Island Remembers premiered a year ago for two performances only on Confed- eration Centre’s Main Stage. Reviewer Ken Kingston declared the production as ‘‘a fitting tribute to Island Veterans’’. The new production will be seen in Charlottetown at the Carrefour Theatre for four performances and at the King’s Playhouse in Georgetown, Three Oaks High School in Summerside and in West Prince at the Westisle theatre.

Hennessey’s script focuses on how the war transformed the lives of Islanders, particularly four young people who find themselves actively involved in the conflict. The excitement and the danger and the humour of their adventures is compellingly dramatized in the production. The unforgettable songs of the war years also plays an important part in the production under Music Director Helen MacRae.

Dates for The Island Remembers are:

Struck

I have weakened. You are my weakness.

I am tempted. You are my temptation.

I desire certain pleasures. You only can provide the pleasure I desire.

I want to have you learn the things only I can teach; See the things I have to show;

Do the things I have done;

Feel how only I make you feel.

I want to become a part of you,

And to have you become a part of me.

You may be unsure if you want me. I can convince you.

You may be scared of getting too close to me. I will never let you be hurt.

You may not be ready yet. I will wait with patience. - SBH

The Rush Limbaugh Quiz Book by Ted Reuter (Andrews and McMeel!)

This 116 page book contains 115 pages of more than I ever wanted to know about Rush Limbaugh. Sure, it’s a quiz book, but on Rush Limbaugh? What next, the philosophy of Beavis and Butthead? Who wants to learn more about Rush Limbaugh? I really thought I hated Rush and his ideas, but now I’m certain I do.

Each quiz section (covering various areas of Rush’s life) is preceeded by a two- page primer for the questions. Now comes a big strike against this book -- the utterly stupid questions, and horrible answers. Prime example: What does Rush have to say about the civil rights movement? a) “‘When are those people going to stop whining and get a job? b) ‘“They’re nothing but a bunch of house niggers.’’ c) “IT told this black guy he was a credit to his race, and he got all upset. What’s with those people?’’ d) ‘‘Pretty soon they’re going to start demanding their own coun- try. Fine. Good riddance. Let them have Cleveland.’’ e) ‘‘It is not farfetched . . . to draw an analogy between the civil rights leadership and the Soviet Communist leadership...’’ The right answer is ‘‘e’’, but that doesn’t excuse the author for slander- ing minorities in the name of satire. I recommend this book as an excellant fire- starter, or possibly to balance uneven legs of chairs, but as a book for reading, I’d rather read the ingredients of Spam.
