PAGE 10 â€" WATERLOOQ CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1986 Coral Andrews Chronicle Special All you need is love ... love is the ultimate trip . . . Love makes the world go round . . . love is all around . . . Love hurts. In today‘s devilâ€"mayâ€"care ‘80‘s, one night stands usually have nothing to do with a solid relationship, in a society where sex is as casual as his and hers mix and match separates. There have been countless films about love, marriage, divorce and the whole darn thing. But no one has ever had the guts to really capture just what a one to one, heartâ€"toâ€"heart commitment is all about. About Last Night, now at the Frederick Maill, puts Joy of Sex, and Masters and Johnson to shame with its insightful approach into the modern day liveâ€"in couple. But be forewarned. This is not a movie for those Dear Johns or Janes who have just endured a painful liveâ€"in liveâ€"out situation. The script with its minute, frequently intimate details hits much too close to home and heart, and could make the viewer extremely unâ€" comfortable. Demi Moore and Rob Lowe (the pick of the Brat Packâ€"St. Elmo‘s Fire) star as Debbie and Danny, who meet, fall in love, live together, and slowly learn that a relationship between two people who really care for each other, means a lot more than ‘sandwich night‘ every Tuesday or ‘playing house.‘ Moore is convincing in her role as careerâ€"driven graphic artist Debbie, intelligent and sensitive yet vulnerable and confused as one thing leads to another with Danny, too fast, too soon. Rob Lowe as Danny, is credible put tendeng to be occasionally banal. He Marcia Kash as Lady Macbeth in the Stratford performance of Macbeth. Robert Ragsdale photo Until now. About Last Night is strong on commitment Kim Coates superb in Macbeth Movie review has a is the epitome of a rising young salesman, eager to please, yet not quite sure if he wants to give up Thursday night drinkfests at his favorite haunt Mothers, or his lustâ€"filled lucky oneâ€"nighters, complete with date and doubleâ€"headset strategy by the fire. He is similiar to a hefty version of Bill Murray, and reminiscent of his late sibling John Belushi, especially in eating scenarios. Directed by Edward Zwick, with screenplay by Tim Kazurinsky and Denise DeClue About Last Night is touching and brutally honest at times as the camera delves into all those sacred places and situations, behind closed doors. Best friend Bernie (James Belushi â€" Salvador) is hilarious as Danny‘s chief advisor. Though he is crude and brash in his attitude with oneâ€"liners that cause female audience members to blushâ€"onâ€"conâ€" tact, Belushi is this movie‘s saving grace, or Perkins‘ timing is uncanny, in the role of a kindergarten teacher whose affairs of the heart have left her romance score card a prominent zero. Perkins and Belushi continually steal the show, with all the best lines, in strong character roles, a definite asset to an otherwise predictable, often irritating, screenplay. But past all the kisses, hugging and sexual ecstasy, the real message is abundantly clear. One has to constantly work, a‘: mould relationships. The best couples are parthers, friends who hold respect, individual freedom, trust and communicaâ€" tion at the top of the list. Freedom and space are About Last Night‘s operative concepts. This blase plot‘s other bright spot is Elizabeth Perkins as Debbie‘s roommate Joan The Bitch. One almost feels like a bedroom voyeur as the movie deals with delicate dayâ€"toâ€"day incidents, or the nude nitty gritty. Coral Andrews Chronicle Special It was an actor‘s audience in Stratford recently for the second opening of Shakespeare‘s popular Macbeth with Young Company actor Kim Coates in the title role. Stratford artistic director John Neville was present, along with many other directors (Charles McFarland â€" UW‘s Automatic Pilot), and actors and actresses, all who had come to cheer Coates in this challenging role of a Scottish king caught between fate and treachery, who drowns in his own blood of ambition. Directed by Tom Kerr (Neptune Theatre Haliâ€" fax) Coates was invincible as Macbeth, his pacing and timing immaculate. â€" o Coates who up until recently played Macduff, Macbeth‘s chief foe, differed from Jerry Etienne‘s less savory interpretation of this starring role. As Macbeth, Coates built up this driven man‘s obsession with greed and power memorably. Coates along with Marcia Kash (both fresh from Kerr‘s Neptune Theatre production of Streetcar Named Desire as Stanley and Stella Kowalski) exuded smouldering passionate chemistry. Kash, ‘topâ€"full of direct cruelty‘ in the role of Lady Macbeth, sent chills down one‘s spine as she renounced her woman‘s parts to help her husband commit murder. Kash was wonderful as she fiendishly lured her love into treason and bloody tyranny, a twisted example of the adage ‘behind every man there is a woman." Kerr used a male witch in the guise of Maurice ‘_KWLT‘s Heroes _ wins awards for : achievement at : Summerfest Bennett, tabbed "the nonâ€"conformist Canadian coffeehouse legend of the halcyon folk period and 70s survivor of the dark disco ages", has three albums to his credit and a cassette The Lucky Ones which he released in 1985.

Legendary Bennett at Princess Cinema In the meantime, Lady Macbeth cannot wash her hands of this horrendous deed, and Kash is outstanding in the famed passage ‘out, out, damn spot‘ as she walks in her sleep, on the verge of madness, and reveals that fateful might‘s revels to the horror of her ladyâ€"inâ€"waiting and The Doctor. With Coates, Kash effected a performance of sheer magnetism. Macbeth ruthlessly murders anyone in his way to ensure his position as the King of Scotland, not concerned about the sister‘s warning of "Burnham Wood coming to Dunsinane, or a man not born of a woman‘‘ who shall fell his sword. Godin, with Anne Wright and Sally Singal, all three steeped in lust and lechery ""*double, double toil and trouble," as they toy with Macbeth‘s desires. Superlative sound effects added to this fine production, in the eye of a terrible thunderstorm which shook the rafters of the Third Stage. The storm caused a momentary power failure, but created a memorable atmosphere as the rain thrashed and the thunder cracked across the sky. Though the storm had passed, the thunder continued at curtain call, with cheers and whoops of joy and admiration from Coates‘ and Kash‘s supporters for a stupendous effort. Godin is exceptional in the role of the The Porter, a comic relief device, a dirty old codger who provided a much needed laugh during these highlyâ€"intense proceedings. The Young Company will be spending six weeks at University of Waterloo in actor‘s residency before touring this show across Ontario.
