Last of the Red Hot Lovers ful oflust *from PLAY on page 18 was a labour of love l'or Ms Adams. She first saw tbe play wben it was perforrned on Broadway years ago. Sbe was so impressed that it was as tbe top of ber wisb list for ber directorial debut witb tbe Players. Oddly enougb, the play alrnost didn't make it to Use stage bere in Milton. It was originally nixed by the Samnuel Frencb company, wbicb distributes scripts, on tbe basia Usat two of Use Milton Players' performances were dinner Useatre shows. A littie digging revealed Usai Mr. Simon birnacîf bad banned any inarriage of bis work and dinner Useatres. Not being one to take no for an answer, Ms Adamis rnarebed to Use telepbone and dialed Mr. Siion's legal representative in Los Angeles. "He told me you want it, you've got it," sbe said. "Tben be called New York, New York called Toronto, and French's called me to apologize." Wbat bad bappened is close to a classic Neil Sirnonesque screw-up. Tbougb Use playwnigbt bad at one Urne called for Use dinner tbeatre ban, be badt also lifted it years ago. Trouble is, no one tbougbt to informn Canada about it. Until now, no one in tbis country bad kicked up a fusa. "*It was an adventure," laugbed Ms Adamns, wbo continues ber love affair witb tbe playwrigbt's work. "I tbink bis writing is so clear. Tbere's not a lime of dialogue that doesn't make sense," she said. "He says the lines out loud as he's wnsting them and if tbey aren't funny to him, be doesn't use Usein." Ms Adamns also bas nothing but praise for Use cast. Mr. Raimondo in particuJar deserves kudos for bis comic timing, she said. "Comedy is as bard, or barder I tbink some- times, tban draina," said Ms Adamns. "If you go over Use line in a comedy, you turm it into a slap- stick and slapstick isn't funny." Rounding out tbe show are actors Sbaron Beddoes, Sandy Bennett and Louise Prevost. Ail play women botly pursued by Use overbeated and over Use bull Mr. Casbinan. Thougb Ms Adamns bas directed filin, vîdeo nd radio for colporate purposes, Ibis is ber first stab at stage directing. It bas been an experience and a balf, sbe said.
