TALKING DIRTY

"talking Dirty" is on the road and
headed towards New Westminster in
March, following prior engagements
in Ottawa, Montreal and Saskatoon.

The story of this Arts Club Theatre
production of "Talking Dirty" is one
of amazing success.

Beginning in October 1981, this play
has now been shown over 800 times, a
Canadian record, and won playwright
Sherman Snukal the 1983 Chalmers
Canadian Play Award.

Presented in conjunction with the
Arts Club Theatre and the Douglas
College theatre discipline, "Talking
Dirty" brings its deft poke at con-
temporary sexual mores into the
College's professional performance
theatre.

The story revolves around Michael,
a philosophising womanizer played by
Andrew Rhodes who recently co-starred
with Tom Selleck in “Runaway” as well
as a lead role in the upcoming TV
Feature "King of Friday Night".

The action takes place in the course
of one chaotic May weekend in the
Kitsilano district of Vancouver.
Michael gets caught in a muddle be-
tween former girlfriend Beth (played
by Sheelah Megill), Karen, a space
cadet from Burnaby (played by Kim
Horsman) and Jackie, the woman from
down the hall (played by Lelani
Marrel).

Of course Michael still has commen-
serate problems with his best buddy,
the fast talking Toronto lawyer
played by Dana Still, who is desper-
ately attempting to break out.

The music features perennial
Vancouver favourites Doug and the
Slugs, and the director is Mario

 

Crudo, director of many performances

of the Arts Club Theatre.

All performances of "Talking Dirty"
at Douglas College will be held in
the fourth floor performance theatre
