. The play was a cascade of jokes and made the audience happy from the beginning to the end, which is a sign of victory.
2.The performer “Kate Herrell who acted as Virginia” seems to not have delivered her lines completely at times so did not come up to the mark. The performance of “Craig as Ira” was well defined and the gestures were perfect indeed. He came up to the mark and left a remarkable impression on the audience. “Emma” was a star that performed utterly well and carried the play with ample spirit. She showed her full potential to the audience and was the shooting star of the play. Christopher who enacted “Peter” was looked slightly uncomfortable in his character and required more attentiveness and dedication from his side to make his character look wholesome and rich. Nick Dickert was distinct in his acting and did full justice to his character as “James” but his voice was trembling at certain points.
3. The performers who were disliked were Kate Herrell, Christopher Lynch, and Ryan Flint. Kate Was not as impressive as she was not consistent with her dialogues. There was less of life in her voice and could not enter well into the character of “Virginia” in which she was portrayed. Whereas Christopher Lynch was not feeling fully the character of “ Peter” and somehow looked less lively and vibrant. It is very essential for an actor to get into the shoes of the character to bring about full life into the play. On the other side, Ryan Flint had a less powerful voice which made his character of “Frank” dull. Dialogues are an essential part of a play, so if it is not balanced with the acting skill can bring chaos and incompleteness to the character as well as the play.
4. The play all in all was an average performance and did not fail to amaze the audience. But it was unfortunate to notice some actors not supporting others and making it at time’s poor performance. In some areas, Christopher Lynch” was not interacting well with “Kate Herrell” and was in a hurry to completer his part of the dialogue. And also Kate seems to rush through some parts showing that she had forgotten certain lines. Noah Mittman, at other times, is displaying to be very overpowering, thus making all actors less confident and assertive. It is not good for one actor to stand out in a play because a good play is where all characters blend with each other to produce a smooth and sound theatrical show. .
