Odd Couple a charming romp Oh, the sixties. Back before the hippie movement threw ai hair clippers and blew the doors wide open love, the last, tight vestiges of the 50s remainel Those were the days when a sly wink was ; to the word divorcee and men wore dress slac to play poker with the boys. Which brings us to the opening seene of 'I Couple, presented by The Milton Players and November 8-11 at the Seniors Activity Centre The Neil Simon comedy, directed by Ge( and produced by Virginia Bancur, is presenite Milton Players as a lighter than coutnlai so a time when the mere ides of two bachelors an apartment was worthy of a laugh. Tht curtain rises on a weekly poker game b3 who are embroiled in tomne form of matrimo happy or unhappy. The exception is the slobbish Oscar Madis as played by Graham Morley is ai slouchy sm a great leering gnin. Since getting the heave-ho fromn bis wife,C been living in the splendid chaos of dirty di unpaid buis. Enter tse ao tight he squeaks Felix Ungeî againat type and with reih by (lino Raim( Feuix, Raimondo, is an energetic sohirl of histy fîts and hysterica. He's everything that Oscar isn't - such a sively neat and a hypochondrise. After more than a decade of being a step ai justifiable homicide, Unger's wifle Francis ha to eaul it quits. The distraught Felix resets by sending telegram to his erstwhile beloved, beforeg Spotlighit and grosning his way to, the weekly gamne. Having heard the news but pretending they haven't, the bunch aIl but nab his shoelaces to, ensure Felix doesn't do away with himself when they blink. The pals include Pst Batty as Roy, who dispîsys s knack for physical comedy. Gary Metealfe pîsys the dim-witted but well-mesning Vinnie with a happy, cow-like placidity. As portrayed by Jorge Moniz, Use ever-complaining Speed is about as aggressive as his moniker. And Tim Beddoes appears as Use bard as nails and twice as huin- gry cop, Murray. Alto, Cationa Wright and Laura Clement are sim- peringly appropriate as the 'coolco Pigeon tisters who live upttairs-and are invited on an ill-fated date with Use fresb, new bachelors. To prevent him fromn pitching himself off the neareat bridge, Oscar invites Felix to move in. The type of mayhemn Usat entues is well documented in Use long- running series of Use samne naine. Broken up into three acta with two intermissions, the Players' Odd Couple is as froUsy and pleasing as cappuccino foamn. For tickets or more information, caîl tht Milton Players at 875-0629.
