TERRACE — On Wed- nesday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. The Enemy Within will be staged at the REM Lee Theatre by Headles Theatre Company of Vancouver.

The play is a political comedy about the premier, his cleaning woman, restraint and you,

The Enemy Within is a play which proves that even if the Human Rights Commission has gone up in smoke, the school board has gone down the drain and food-bank line-ups are going around the block, there is comic relief from restraint.

And where there is laughter, there’s hope — and a game plan to fight back.

Introduction

British Columbia — Police today were forced to physically remove a woman who had oc- cupied the premier's of- fice for the last week.

As police dragged her out of the premier’s of- fice, she would only identify herself as “William’s ex-cleaning woman’’, stating, ‘‘Wil- liam promised me that together we would,..”’

Until, in the name of restraint, William throws Claire’s job out the win- dow and Claire along with it. Her mops and pails are now rendered redundant.

Follow Claire as she

‘personally battles the

Follow William as he, like so few of us, revels in his own vision of the new reality; Pacific Rim development, B.C. coal; the site ‘‘C’’ dam, the Coquihalla Highway, Expo, a flexible (7!) work force.

Watch as Claire’s love turns to revenge and William’s vision blurrs with too many Expo par- ties. And finally, join Claire as she invites us to help her take over the premier’s office as we all become, the enemy with- in.

Creating Theatre.

The Enemy Within is written by David Dia- mond, co-directed by Sue Astley and Dia- mond. The play is per- formed by Meredith Bain Woodward and C. Holte Davidson, and designed by Barbara Clayden,

The company contin- ues Headlines’ tradition of creating theatre which reflects the issues at the heart of a community.

In 1981 Headlines pro- duced Buy, Buy Van- couver, a play about the housing crisis. In 1981 it was Right to Fight, a video docu-drama de- signed as an organization tool for the activist hous- ing movement.

1983-84 saw the pro- vincial and national tours of Under the Gun: A Disarming Revue, a play about Canada’s in- volvement in world militarism.

In 1985-86, Headlines is taking a hard look at ‘Srestraint’’ and who ex- actly is restraining whom.

Although Christmas has passed I should mention a book which arrived too late for December review, but which is so beautifully composed and presented that it should be mentioned.

The Donkey’s Dream is told and illustrated by Bar- bara Helen Berger (Philomel/General Publishing:$19.95). A small donkey has been carry- ing a heavy load. As he walks he begins to dream that he carries on his back a city, a ship, a fountain, and a rose. Finally he dreams he is carrying “a lady full of heaven”’.

The small group makes its way over the cobbled streets of a small town to a stable where the weary donkey can finally rest, but the man returns to take the donkey io where the lady lies. She smiles at the donkey, ‘Come, see what we have carried all this way, you and I.’ There lies a tiny child.

The author’s notes explain the symbols of the Virgin Mary, including the little blue forget-me-nots which decorate the page. The french name for them is “‘les yeux de Marie’. Rich glowing color and sim- ple restrained prose combine in a truly lovely version of the Christmas story.

Satomi Ichikawa, a talented young Japanese artist, has been responsible for some lovely and sensitive books for children. Her illustrations have enhanced Cynthis Michell’s delightful books Playtime and Under the Cherry Tree, and last Christmas one of the best Christmas books of the year, Merry Christmas.

Her latest book, Here a Little Child I Stand (Heinemann/General Publishing:$12.95) is again with Mitchell. Mitchell has collected poems of prayer and praise from around world, traditional Eskimo, from the Old Testament, Hindu prayers and a Japanese prayer for understanding. Ichikawa’s soft pastel drawings sensitively capture the spiritual

Barbara Cooney told the story of Alice Rumphius who wanted to travel the world and live by the sea, as her grandfather had done. One other thing he asked her was to do something to make the world more beautiful,

Miss Rumphius (Penguin:$4.95) is the story of how she achieves that goal, a story which holds that life and art must intertwine — a belief supported by the tranquility and beauty of the landscapes Cooney paints for her story. This outstanding book for young children was the winner of the American Book Award. It is now available in paperback.
