(24) Anna Mackay-Smith and Ken Welsh perform Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, Friday, February 27, Uxbridge

I got an e-mail from Anna Mackay-Smith a few days ago to let me know she's playing opposite Ken Welsh in a special performance of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune by Terrence McNally for the 12th Anniversary of Motley Theatre Company. Frankie and Johnny was Motley's very first playreading.

It's in Uxbridge, at the Royal Canadian Legion, 109 Franklin St., for only $15.00. Pay at the door. They're both seasoned, award-winning Stratford actors. Should be excellent.

This from Anna:

"It has been twelve years since the twinkle in Ken Welsh's and my eyes created the very first playreading that brought about the conception of The Motley Theatre Company. At the back of the old Combine Restaurant we performed a two hander called Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune by Terrence McNally on Valentine's Day, 1997. The success of that, led to another performance of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf by Edward Albee. This too was met with such enthusiasm that we started The Motley Theatre Company."
