There are exceptions, like pairing drier robust beers with sweet chocolates . ./ Throw all of the rules out the window and experiment with contrasting and complimenta­ ry pairings. Match foods with complimentary flavors, or try contrasting them and create a slew of unique results . ./For those of you who are bound to the wine pairing school of thought, think of ale as red wine and lager as white wine.

Continued from page 18 unique. The version he and Valentine created does this. The first words on stage are from the opening paragraph of the book, in which one of the actors/nar­ rators describes Samuel Spade, the main character. The audience gets to hear the true description of Spade, a man with a bony face filled with Vs - his chin, his nose and eyebrows are all V-shaped. The description ends with a simple statement- "He looked rather pleasantly like a blond Satan." "You can't recreate that in a movie," Boudewyns says. "By including this first paragraph, we created a distinction between the book and the movie." It's one of the subtle hints he hopes audiences will pick up on, inspiring them to read more. During the performance, the actors play several characters and share the role of the narrator. They use simple visual accessories like hats, glasses and scarves to help the audience keep track of each charac­ ter. They also rely on varying speak­ ing patterns and accents. Live sound effects are added as well. Boudewyns says the perform­ ance still maintains the quality of any other good theater production. The only thing that truly differenti­ ates this from a stage production is the minimal movement and lack of a set. Even the script is like those found in other performances.
