TAKE TWO is a fast-moving comedy about the War Of The Woods, where tree-hugging environmentalists square off against clear-cutting loggers, and it's an ideal season opener for Evergreen Theatre. It's more than just the tree thing. It's right smack in the middle of Evergreen's mandate to reconnect us, in varying ways, to the best of the past.

TAKE TWO is inspired by the old Goldoni classic A SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS, and although it is thoroughly brought up to date, it still is close to it's commedia dell arte "roots". The play is set in Lotta Logga B.C. where a logging blockade is raging against Pantalone Pulp and Paper. Fearnado TVSleaseMagazine, after picking up a film crew in Burnaby (one guy), descends onto Lotta Logga to exploit and inflame the situation. When true blue Fred Frank of the CBC arrives to give more balanced reporting, Fearnado's cameraman Cameron tricks him into hiring him too. Cameron has a high-tech computer-editing machine, and of course believes he will have no trouble whatsoever in keeping the two slightly different styles of filming separate. Well, he does, and therein lies the fun.

TAKE TWO was an Evergreen Theatre Production in association with du Maurier Arts. The production was sponsored by CBC Radio and Global T.V.
It played from November 3rd to 13th at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Avenue in Burnaby.
