And that is somnething that the Whitby Theatre Company will, attempt to prove as they put on their production of Neil Simon's hit comedy "Chapter Two. " According to director Dennis Empson, the play is slightly bio- graphical' in nature. It concerns George Schneider, played by veteran amateur actor Jim Cheyne, who has just returned to his home after a trip to Europe that was intend- ed to help him put his life back together after the death of his wife. As it happens Schneider has a fun loving and slightly lech- erous brother, Leo (played by D'Arcy Smyth) who tries to in- troduce him to various women whose reputa- tions could be con- sidered doubtful.

However, Leo attempts to interfere in the ro- mance by trying to con- vince Jennie that George is flot yet ready to re-marry. But they do get maried and that's where the trouble begins. There are fights and arguments and George walks out. According to Empson, the play is reaiiy abou the play is really about how Simon met his second and current wife, Marsha Mason. Simon's first wife did die and he wrote the play especialiy for w - - Mason who won an AP-a- demy Award nomina- tion for the screen ver- sion in which she starred with James Caan. Empson said that "Chapter Two" is 75 per cent comedy and 25 per cent drama and has in it some of the best material Simon ever wrote. "The play is autobio- graphical," Empson said. "George Schneider is his alter ego, with some minor changes. " "This play has some depth. " Empson should be familiar to Whitby Theatre Company pa- trons because of his por- trayal of Beckett in "Beckett". This is his first direction job for the cfompany. The play is being pre- sented at the theatre in the Centennial Building on November 5, 6, 7 and 12, 13 and 14 with an 8 p.m. curtain time. A special performance for senior citizens will be given on November 5 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $4 for Thursdays and $5 for Fridays and Saturdays. A "meet-the-cast" rec- eption will be held after each Friday and Satur- day performance in the Regal Room. Being passingly fami- liar with the play, the writer would urge theatre goers to take in the stage version even if they have seen the movie.
