By Janice keys free press staff writer Canadian theatre has matured during the last two dec Ades but there is still much that remains to be done says Irena Mayeska who will play the title role in the Manitoba theatre Centre s next play lady fre Derick opening March 6. Much of the development of theatre however is a Long term project miss Mayeska warned. European theatres have been growing for 300 years and theatre people in this country must remember that the Cana Dian theatre it is now has been established Only since the late 1940 a she said. We re trying to do in 25 years what they european theatres did in that length of More government subsidization would help the Canadian stage to develop an identity of its own. Said miss Mayeska. Most of the european theatres Are heavily or completely subsidized. The danger is that the theatre theatre offers enough of a Challenge i n self expression without adding the Challenge of worrying about Money miss Mayeska believes. But for the time being Cana Dian theatres must include in their playbills the plays that have proven popular in the past. Such a play is lady fre Derick written by Somerset maugham. It is set in the Monte Carlo of the turn of the Century and centres around a lady who spends most of her time living extravagantly incurring huge stoppage by the miners since 1926, began Jan. 29. The miners originally asked for a 47-per-cent average in crease in the Basic weekly rate of s49.40 for under ground workers. They later scaled Down their demands to 11 per cent and rejected a Coal Board offer of 7.9 per cent. Dom that comes from not hav ing to worry about whether a certain play is going to lose Money. Canadian theatres now find themselves in a predicament when a decision must be made on whether to do an unknown play miss Mayeska explained. The artistic director either decides to do the play and take a financial loss or do a better known popular play. This is especially hard on Ca Nadian playwrights who find themselves without a Market for their works in their own country. J the development of native playwright is a very important part of any theatre s pro playwrights cannot just be suddenly created said miss j Montreal up a week Mayeska i workshops for writers should also be established. If a writer has the Opportunity to see his play done by a Good professional company he can spot the flaws and write a better play debts and devising ways of get Ting out of them said miss Mayeska.
