at Pacific Shaw fest

THE STAGNANT economy has
forced many arts organizations to
cut .back on spending, and the
“1992 Pacific Shaw Festival is no
exception.

-This year’s celebration, which
opens tonight. at the Waterfront
Theatre, features three of Shaw's
plays: Arms and the Man,
Augustus Does His Bit and The In-
ca of Perusalem.
’ And North Vancouver set de-
signer Kairiin Bright has been
given the difficult task of placing
all three works on a single set.
-. “The set is relatively clean,
fairly simple. It’s a clever set in-
stead of a huge set,”’ says Bright.

Set against a historical backdrop
of the Serbo-Bulgarian War and
seen through the eyes of a Swiss
mercenary who stashes food in-
stead of bullets in his battle kit,
Arms and the Man explores the
eternal struggle between experi-
ence and idealism.

Bright saw Arms and the Man
performed in Toronto over 10
years ago and studied the script in
“school. But she wasn’t familiar
‘with Shaw's other two plays.
~ She says her ideas volved and
that she had good cooperation
directors (the
directors originally included Mar-

tin Millerchip and John Keith, but
Coconut Theatre Society has since
announced that Keith will direct
all three plays).

“The directors have been very
willing and open to my ideas.
They didn’t come with the sets al-
ready designed in their minds.
That’s very exciting for me
because it allows me to do what
I've been trained te do,”’ she says.

Shaw goes into great detail
describing the environment in his
work, and Bright’s set will ask au-
dience members to rely on their
imaginations. “It asks audiences
to look at the characters and imag-
ine what pictures wouid be on the
walls, what rugs would be on the
floor, what nick-nacks on the
mantle. it will give a small sugges-
tion of the scene and ask them to
fill in the rest.”

Arms and the Man runs at the
Waterfront Theatre on Granville
island in repertory with Augustus
Does His Bit and The Inca of Pe-
rusalem, which open Oct. 30,
from Nov. 2 to 14.
