Thrills and Chills
We really were very agreeably surprised at the Dramatic Club's play reading. "The Cat and the Canary."
Because it's perhaps the most unsuitable play for reading ever written. There are so many panels, corpses monsters, and screams that have to be left to the imagination.
Nevertheless it was one of the best play-readings ever presented at V.U.C. and reflected great credit on both actors and producers alike. The atmosphere in the gym was quite electric at times. And we didn't know that Helen Maysmor had it in her.
The fact that "Salient" looked behind a few times going down Boulcott Steps is a remarkable tribute to a splendid show.
