Play on for second week The Borelians Community Theatre production of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" took audiences on an emotional roller-coaster during weekend performances. The play, which opened Thursday at the Town Hall, is about the struggles of Willy Lo- man -- a salesman from New York -- and the deterioration of his relationships with his fami- ly members. Although the play is set in 1949, much of the play occurs in Willy's mind. The play received rave re- views from members of the au- dience who laughed and cried during the 2 1/2 hour perfor- mance. The cast and crew had an even tougher audience to play for on opening night. Adjudica- tors from ACT-CO were in the audience judging the play for the annual ACT-CO Festival. Borelians chairperson Sandy James-Mitchell said the adjudi- cation allows the theatre group to get professional feedback about their work, as well as en- tering the actors, directors and crew in a Central Ontraio-wide competition. After the performance Thurs- day night, the audience was al- lowed to stay and listen to the adjudicator's remarks. The adjudicator said he was impressed with the actor's and director's performances and ability, but said the play was de- picted as too much of a tragedy. He said there was more hu- | mor in the play than what was shown on the stage during the opening night performance. He also said the set was a lit- tle too dark, but that the set de- sign worked well. Performances of Death of a Salesman resume Wednesday night for Durham Region stu- dents. The play will be open to the public again for performances | on Nov. 2-4 at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at Cottage Rose/ | Just Around The Corner or at the door.
