Hwy 25 Highway 5, Dundas St St ON STAGE: The Winslow family awaits the verdict, in The Oakville Players production of The Winslow Boy, now playing at the Oakville Centre for Performing Arts. From left, Chris Reid as Sir Robert Morten, Kevin Haxell as Arthur Winslow, Sheri Marshman as Catherine Winslow, and Quentin Brayer-Berger as John Watherstone. Getting their day in court Continued from page 33 "I go from needing a cane very slightly to being in a wheelchair at the end," said Haxell. "That's the extent of the sacrifice, the suffering I put myself through." As Janice Tate, who plays his wife, Grace Winslow, puts it, "The point of the play is how far Ronnie's father is willing to go." Tate's character is just trying to keep it together. "She goes through such a difficult time in the play," she said. "They start to lose everything they have, all their lifestyle. She has to reconcile that." At the beginning of the play, the Winslow family is well off, as evidenced by their home and the fact that they're able to afford a housekeeper named Violet, who is played by Rita Ferguson. One of the reasons their money so quickly disappears is Sir Robert Morton. He's the best lawyer money can buy ­ and Arthur makes it his goal to ensure Morton will represent his son. "I get drawn into the case, and it's surprising, because I've been taking higher status cases," said Chris Reid, who plays Morton. "I'm drawn to it because I've been doing what I'm doing because I believe I'm part of a system that doesn't leave anyone behind." Morton, joined by another lawyer named Desmond Curry, who is played by Alan Edge, sees that Ronnie gets his day in court. "That's what's more important," Reid says, "is he needed to have that voice." Rounding out the cast of the show are Michelle Hoffman, who adds humour to the play as reporter Miss Barnes, and Fred the photographer, played by Nick Holshausen.
