     The Committee 
     
    
     As I descended down 
     
     into the bowls of the Main 
     
     building I heard a roar of 
     
     laughter rise from the 
     
     Theatre Society room. I 
     
     entered the room and (was 
     
     casually introduced to a 
     
     happy—go-lucky cast, by 
     
     David Moses (director) as a 
     
     reporter from the newspaper. 
     
     I took off my jacket, sat 
     
     down and listened. 
     
    
     When the script reading 
     
     was over I was thoroughly 
     
     impressed. Nick Grant 
     
     (producer) asked me how I 
     
     liked it. "I think you have 
     
     a sure thing, Nick. The 
     
     audience will love it, 
     
     especially the characters 
     
     Col. Mustard (portrayed by 
     
     Jeff McGee) and Flann 
     
     O'Brian (Kevin Walker)." 
     
    
     (I mingled with some of 
     
     the cast members. I asked 
     
     ‘Nils Connor's personal view 
     
     of his character that he 
     
     portrays in the play. "I do 
     
     not like Boswell as a person 
     
    
     We are the music-makers, 
     
    
     And we are the dreamers of dreams, 
     
     wandering by lone sea-breakers, 
     
     And sitting by desolate streams;- 
     
    
     One man with a dream, at pleasure, 
     
     Shall go forth and conquer a crown; 
     
     And three with a new song’s measure 
     
     Can trample an empire down. 
     
    
     Arthur O’Shaughnessy 
     
    
     arriving in 
     
     Canada in 1979 BARLEY BREE 
     
     has evolved into North 
     
     America's foremost Irish 
     
     Trio. 
     
    
     Since 
     
    
     Barley Bree is P.V. 
     
     O’Donnell, Tom and Jimmy 
     
     Sweeney whose names are 
     
     synonymous 
     
     variety and magic 
     
      &lt;  &gt; 
     
    
     with the beauty, 
     
    
     f Irish 
     
    
     pﬁﬁsﬁx- 
     
    
     because he is a pathetic 
     
     character who makes me 
     
     nervous. He is a‘ personal 
     
    
     secretary who idolizes and 
     
     is dependant upon his boss. 
     
     He also lacks originality." 
     
    
     Next I 
     
    
     briefly 
     
     interviewed Jeff McGee on 
     
     how he would describe his 
     
    
     character. "A discrepted 
     
     old military man with bad 
     
     bowels named Col. Mustard. 
     
     He provides comic relief in 
     
     the play spending 3/u of the 
     
     time in the~can (bathroom). 
     
     I think he is a riot to 
     
     portray." 
     
    
     I questioned Valerie 
     
     Pepler (Joan) on how the 
     
     play was progressing "the 
     
     script is constantly 
     
     changing [because the writer 
     
     is present], lines are not 
     
     learned yet because of the 
     
     changing but it is good, so 
     
     you can see what direction 
     
     the play is going, where the 
     
     writer is leading up to and 
     
     you understand more what the 
     
     writer is presenting when 
     
     making the changes." 
     
    
     delighted fans who. have 
     
    
     heard them in concert, on 
     
     record, and on television 
     
     and radio. 
     
    
     P.V. O'Donnell is a

     authority on Irish folk‘

     Irish drum the

     brother of Jimmy's, his 
     
     comedy and Irish sense of 
     
     humour is *truly bountiful, 
     
     Tom is a versatile 
     
     balladier, ‘with bass and

     She went on to say "The that yourselves.) 
     
    
     lines aren't hard to learn 
     
     and the play is really funny 
     
     but there 'is alot of under

     Now how did we get off 
     
     on that tangent, anyways I 
     
     went on with the question of 
     
    
     how this brain storm came 
     
     Finally I focused my about. "On the committee of

     This is his first play that interaction was the same in 
     
     he produced, a setting of a more

     "The script is aboht "The , idea of students

     Nick commented on the will not see the finished
