Stargate actor Dean Aylesworth takes part in play about WWII bravery
VANCOUVER (CP) - As Canada's last surviving Victoria Cross winner was
feted in Italy last week, a play showcasing the bravery of Canadians
in that theatre of the Second World War played to Vancouver
audiences.
Actor Dean Aylesworth has taken a break from Stargate and X-Files
work to play Ernest (Smoky) Smith in The Devils with the Red Patch
produced by Ronnie Way.
The play, performed in Vancouver at the armouries of Smith's unit,
the Seaforth Highlanders, has been seen by school children, seniors
and many others. And Aylesworth says veterans have complimented the
cast.
"They're pleased we're playing them in an honourable fashion," he
said. "They're worthy heroes."
Some have been moved to tears, he said. "We've had a really, really
good response."
Way worked with Veterans Canada and the B.C. Veterans Commemorative
Association for six years to produce the play, the sixth in a series.
He says theatre is a way to impress upon youth the value of veterans'
experiences in war.
"Quite often they look at old men with a bunch of medals and fail to
see the young man," he said. "Theatre has a way to transcend time."
"It's been really quite a pleasure to research with the veterans," he
said. "They want to have their legacy remembered."
Smith won the top medal for valour after he took out a German tank,
stopped advancing soldiers - killing four of them - and rescued a
wounded comrade.
The play moves to various other venues around B.C.'s Lower Mainland
in the coming weeks.
