* _A Day im the Death of Joe Egg, the second ‘show to be presented by the Waterloo Summer ~Theatre Company, opens June 10 in the Theaâ€" & sFCAR UE C \â€"uyuu;, w V WSms â€" RW " CEFVC _ & REWCE : tre of the:â€"â€"Arts at University .0f Waterloo. Written by Peter Nichols and directed by Maurice Evans, Joe Egg will begin at 8 p.m. June 10â€" 12. and June 17â€"20. Joe Egg is tragic comedy about a multiâ€"handiâ€" capped child. According to Maurice Evans, the play often eatches viewers laughing and then wondering why. _ _ l In Joe Egg, Bri, played by guest actor W.R. Chadwick and Sheila (Ann Snieckus) are Joâ€" sephine‘s parents caught in the struggle of raising a handicapped child. Josephine, played by 10â€"yearâ€"old Judy Barâ€" rettâ€"Lenard, a student of Winston Churchill public school, is unable to speak orâ€"even move. She is spastic and unable to comprehend. The strain of raising such a child makes Joe Egg a very human play. The audience is brought into the play and much of the dialogue is directed to them. Actors speak to the auâ€" dience and bring emotional conflicts to life. The viewer is actually part of the situation, not just an observer. â€" ‘‘The play becomes very real because of the audience contact. It is a very human problem 5 to 95 T.

That‘s The Way It Was~ (1970) Elvis Presley Because of the impact of Joe Egg, Maurice Evans found it a bit difficult to direct. The part of Josephine requires a deep awareness of the problems of a multiâ€"handicapped child â€"and is difficult for a tenâ€"yearâ€"old to project. The cast has worked hard to prepare for the play‘s T HE= _ 6 i _ _ jealousy of the child. His emotions and frusâ€" trations are rivaled against Freddie, played by Dean Barrington, an old friendâ€"with whom Bri believes Mle is having an affair. _ ; To pro comic relief, Peter Nichols wrote the part of Grace, Bri‘s mother, played by Patricia Nember. Miss Nember gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Liz Lawsonâ€" Douglas, an elderly English lady living in Waâ€" terloo. It was in the character of Liz that Patâ€" ricia realized the role of Grace. which helps the play seem real,‘‘ says Maurice. > opening June 10; _ ** * ~ _ Joe Egg is ’fu!iber _ gomplicgt?d by Bri‘s _ Joe Egg was first performed by the Citizens Other comedy comes from the way ~Bri deals"with the situation.
