The good news is that half of "The Mumberley Inberitance" is quite watchable; the bad news is that the other half is not. Which half is which? When it comes to the script (by Warren Graves of Edmonton), the unwatchable half is Act I. To quote the advertising brochure, the play is a "hilarious sendâ€"up of a Victorian Melodrama, complete with a villain, a heroine (in distress of course) and the proverbial hero."‘ Sir Roger Mumberley has frittered away his substance in gambling, but his daughter Daphne plans to marry the noble Rodney Stoutheart who will pay Sir Roger‘s debts with his newly acquired inheritance, but the dastardly Marmaduke Mayhem, eager to take possession of both Daphne and Mumberley Manor, is scheming with his henchman, Crispin Cringe, to put a stop to the marriage, foreclose on the mortgage, and generally be as wicked as he possibly can. All the funny, corny elements of an oldâ€"fashioned melodrama are there, but somehow they just don‘t come together, at least in the first act. The cliches come out one by one, but somehow the Iaugl_\s are_n't there. hadt Aliaitsniit Mosdvoidiindindotadtatn ltfi iietntnt : Anernnt en ce A prime requirement is that the actors should be having fun with their roles, however deadâ€"pan they must play their characters. Unfortunately, both Fiona Hinde as the tired maidservant Dotty and Maldwyn Allen as Sir Roger are far too restrained and slowâ€"paced to get the show off to a good start. Alexandra McGovern, as Daphne, does her best to inject energy into the proceedings, but even she seems somewhat lacklustre to begin with, warming up as the show progresses (perhaps Good seats available!

Gardner‘s presence takes over the stage, eclipsing every other character with his wonderful expansiveness. Even he can‘t Save the numerous dead spots in the first half of the play, but he is an example to everyone else onstage of how to fill a blatant stereotype with the life it deserves. One wonders why the director didn‘t work to instill the same sort of exuberance into all the other players. _ After the intermission, the play picks up considerably, possibly because the script finally finds the humor in its material, possibly because the livelier actors are given a chance to take over while the others stay offstage. We are treated to the arrival of Jack Mumberley (Jim Hicks) after six long years in "the Canadas," his reunion with his longâ€"lost Polly (Patricia Anderson), and his collaboration with Rodney Stoutheart (Brian Martin) to fight the evil Mayhem. The efforts of Alan Prins as Crispin Cringe are also successful in fetching laughter from the audiâ€" ence. While the onstage performances have their ups and downs, the backstage work is almost uniformly of good quality (only one flubbed sound cue on the night of this performance). The set, designed by director David Antsâ€" cherl, is all one could ask for: just as seedy and cheaply opulent as a parody like this requires. The period costumes (worn by everyone, chorus and ticketâ€"takers as well as the cast) add a great deal to the visual impressiveness of the evening. It‘s just a pity that the rest of the show is too uneven to live up to the promise of the production values. $325 gets you all you can eat for as long as you can walk Soup, Salad & Sandwich Bar The Knack Tues., Oct. 18 â€" Sat., Oct. 22, 8 p.m. Theatre of the Arts This sparkling British Comedy examines ~the gentle art of getting girls!
