competitors specials a the creature creeps- fun and entertaining by ian bailey the creature creeps is a silly play fortunately the silliness is intentional calculated and entertaining the markham little theatre produc tion is a pastiche of horror movie cliches from popular images of frank enstein and dracula the timeworn ele ments given new life here are best de monstrated by a main character who dresses like dracula and speaks with the thick east european accent of bela lugusi he is baron donald von blitzen brian nairn a dapper vampiristic mad scientist von blitzen lives in his castle with his wife maritza elizabeth wyatt his aide mord eric newton and his housekeeper gretchen gail weir as the play opens various citizens have vanished from the nearby village the events seem to coincide with the barons own mysterious plans which are interrupted by a visit from his daughter daisy kerry harman accompanied by her fiance frank sterling billjay and her friend babsy allison burnside the plays familiar images include an impressive set depicting the inside of castle von blitzen the vampiristic baron and his aide who seems to be a hybrid of the hunchback of notre dame and the fritz character de veloped by dwight frye in the 1931 frankenstein movie yet the play owes more to the munsters or the adams family than either dracula or frank enstein writer jack sharkey and director stephen turl have wisely realized that j any play laden with these features cant be taken seriously and that its strength is the vigor of its satire they may have gone a bit too far much of the humor is unsteady with the oneliners misfiring worse the crea- ture doesnt seem to know when to say 4 goodbye the play has an ending that drags on and on hi search of the big laugh yet although the plays particulars may be off the tone of the humor is pleasing even in a silly way there are several funny features that are effec- i tively repeated they include an awk- v ward slapstick routine involving hand- i shakes and bows screams ringing from thecastlesdungeonthatare used strategically in the narrative plus tire nervousness of the daisys friends at the barons eccentricity in addition while the writing may stumble many of the performances are nicely done by cast members who cram life into their characters they include brian nairn as von blitzen kelly harman as his squeekyvoiced blitzed out daughterand especially eric newton who is often quite funny as mord another asset is the technical work which effectively creates a sense of space beyond the set the sound effects i created by terry browne are an effec tive catalogue of echoes and creaking doors that gives the set vast unseen space further the lighting effects de signed by paul court of theatre ontar io are excellent particularly a light- ning storm that rocks the castle and suggests churning skies outside performances of the creature creeps will be held at markham dis trict high school on nov 29 30 and
