REED To we who last week saw TARTUFFE The PC Players gave most ample proof That poetry can really swing And classics do not lose their sting. If in his time Moliere had wit Today his play remains a hit! The language, rich, sonorous, rhyming, Was well combined with graceful miming And filled an almost barren stage With all the atmosphere of Moliere's age. The players declaimed with ease and pleasure the gems of Moliere’s comic treasure To make the evening a delight. Marcia Whitman began the night With a Dorine so smart, sagacious, (Not to mention cute, flirtatious) That her performance set the lively pace To keep this saucy servant in her place. David Hood, as portly burgher Orgon Made naivete and gullibility a foregone Conclusion with his stolid stubborn mein -- His blindness was amazing to be seen! His wife Elmire was played by Dianne Waters And Becky Grogan was Marianne, his daughter. Each lady performed true to her part, Marianne, dutiful daughter from the start Still sobbed with vigour from her broken heart Miss Water’s Elmire also stood apart -- Her graceful beauty, cool and blue, Was the highborn charm that made Tartuffe pursue. Bob Boody played the knave Tartuffe, Idabod Crane, hypocrite, spoof, With hands aflutter near his chest And eyes rolled heavenwards to be blest At every moment he did his best To cuckold Orgon in bitter jest A Tiny Tim without his ukelele Boody’s Tartuffe will be remembered daily! To support him were Cleante, Damis, Valere, (Who seemed uneasy with their page-boyed hair!) Dexter Ross portrayed Damis the son, Pete Peterson was Valere, Marianne’s True One-- The first a hothead, quick tempered, loud, The second a lover, touchy and proud. As the Uncle Rodney Clark could hold his own; He made of Cleante sweet reason’s tone Bent on opening Orgon’s deluded eyes, Plus declaiming Moliere’s philosophy to the skies. (An expository part is hard to play, It is often meant for the author’s say.) The final gem was Monsieur Royal Whom Juan Amaya played as a pain royal! As the epitome of a hypocrite His caricature was an instant hit. Three small parts completed the cast: McMillan, the policeman, came in last. Libba Flower® was the**lje|py mai<£ r. f And the redoubtable qrndnp^ber was .portrayed By righteous, indignant Candy Connell Who made a fierce Madame Pernelle. Mr. Rains must be proud of his Players We hope good things will come in pairs. As I end I make this plea (I know by now its plain to see That a Moliere I’ll never be) Forgive this wildly rhyming spree It’s fun to try some poetry! Thank you. Mrs. W. L.
