sondheim show sparkles

From page 214

the play was given greater
authority.

But status is dependent upon
relationships and none of
Falstaff’s are established clearly
off the top. He commands the
stage rather than his fellows.

Instead, pace is all and
Campbeff winds up the action
like a hurdy-gurdy until the char-
acters are so ensnared in their
multiple plots they forget where
they are rushing off to next.

incidentally, the attempt to
score this and add a lot of off-
stage sound effects is unfortu-
nately twentieth rather than nine-
teenth century and hugely dis-
tracting from the actors who are
already working hard enough.

In the middie of this wildly
spinning top several actors man-
age to create large characters and
still retain their humanity.

All of the women do well but

Denyse Wilson shines as Mistress
Quickly. Her brass always rang
true.

And surprisingly stealing the
show was Scott Bellis’ foolish
Ford. The intensity of his jealousy
was comically delicious, but the
unexpected surprise was the
pathos of his humiliation. Bravo!

If the rest of the production
does not quite measure up to this
complexity it is, nevertheless,
bold, colorful and generally
comic.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS Theatre
have an interesting musica!
evening awaiting you if you like
the music and lyrics of Stephen
Sondheim.

Side By Side By Sondheim
runs at the Deep Cove Shaw
Theatre to july 26 and features
the vocal talents of Andrea Brant,
Sonia Church and Mitchell
Mackay as well as two excellent
pianists: Eleanor Morgan and

Mark Matterson.

Narrator Paul Kloegman tells
you all you need to know about
the early career of a truly great
lyricist while the singers offer
extracts from shows like: A
Funny Thing Happened On The
Way To The Forum, Follies,
Company, Gypsy, A Little Night
Music and West Side Story.

If the harmonies are not
always perfect, Mackay provides
a solid strength to the phrasing
while Brant is delightfully natur-
al, providing a real! sparkle to the
staging.

Kloegman’s sardonic humor
will work better when he gets his
nose out of his notes but the dou-
ble entendres are too obvious to
fit comfortably with Sondheim.

And it is Sondheim who is the
real star of the evening. Just lis-
tening to the words is reason
enough to see this show.

To July 23. Information: 929-
9456.

Community helps Pasparos celebrate

Frora page 23

is the popular Mythos restaurant
in the upper Lonsdale area.

Angelo Angelopoulos, a former
Pasparos waiter/manager, and
Erodotos Anayiotos, the taverna’s
former head chef, left Pasparos to
open Mythos in 1993.

They took with them some of
the ingredients that have made
Pasparos such a local favorite.
Mythos continues to prosper.

So the seed originally sown by
Aristedes Pasparakis continues to
spread the good word of Greek
dining abroad.

Andon June 26, Roumanis and
the rest of the Pasparos crew
threw an anniversary wing-ding
for its loyal clientele and the rast
of the North Shore. .

The menu for the evening fea-
tured complimentary dinners, buf-
fet tables laden with lamb and
chicken souvlaki, humous, tzasi-
ki, keftedes, dolmades, kalamari.
fresh prawns, Greek potatoes,
Greek salad, and Greek pastries;

ki music, belly dancing, Greek
dancing, Greek music and a hyp-
notic parade of people eating,
laughing and drinking.

In short, the Greek version of a
grand community time.

By 6 p.m., a lineup stretched
through Pasparos’ patio out on to
the 3rd Street sidewalk, recalling
the taverna’s ebullient opening.
