The set is built to resemble a colossal Greek vase that has been shattered. The broken ceramics create dominant and submissive levels for the actors to stand on, but they also make it difficult for them to move. Each piece is au thentically painted in orange and black, which glow un der sharp red and blue lights. In an effort to break from stereotypical Grecian cos tuming, the action is set in the 1920s. The formal wear costuming associated with the time works well with the characters but not with the set. The tuxes give the actors a sense of royalty, but they also starkly contrast the set. When asked about the characters, director Robert “Coach" Wenck said, “Nobody really loves anybody. They basically love themselves, but there is a lusting going on.” The many murderous plots and lust than# smoothly interwoven throughout the short scene 1 Playing the title role of Andromache isAbbie son, a senior theater arts major, who delivers tbe tionally charged performance necessary to pom character who marries the man (Pyrrhus) whokii! husband (Hector). Not only does Pyrrhus mache’s husband, but he also threatens to bind only son. Joshua Kutaeh, a freshman general studies & emits stunning poise and style in his portrayal ofP\: the King of Epirus. “Coach lets you find the character for yourself, helps you to stretch the limits of your abilities," Kuii Hermione is betrothed to Pyrrhus, but Pyrrhus Andromache instead. Meanwhile, Orestes, ana sador who has come to Pyrrhus to negotiate the Andromache’s son, madly lusts after Hermione. This plot should remind one of the foolish pass occurs when a young man has a crush on ale f’ul girl who just teases and teases only to crush it repeatedly forherou: el. unsympathetic game. John Meinberg. a junior mathematic jor, holds nothing back in his unflinchk formance of the cowardly ambassador, Orests has many wonderful moments, especially duriri ending when he is haunted by the ghost of Pyrrh Bridget Da Graca, a junior biochemistry major ally from South Africa, portrays the pert Hermione. She has a wonderful accent but let overemphasize the rhyming verse. Each main character is accompanied by a counselor. Pylades is Orestes’ conniving adviser, m lago is to Othello. Freshman theater art Chris Ahr is a far better actor than most his ag audiences will most likely see much more of the future. Phoenix is the comical straight manstaiJ beside the temperamental Pyrrhus. Keith Nei- a sophomore English major, could not have#! more delightful in his portrayal of the role, t This Euripidian episode is highly reii mended. Viewers will cry at the end of Ac: ft and will be blown away by the play’sendiaf Andromache will be performed between tober 11 and 14 in Rudder Auditorium. ■ — Matthew Ten Just wh Capcom c alar Dino < original gi reptiles in; Comph about figh more velocirapti than both Park movi While tl cally the sa ference, in between D original gc was more 5 zle-oriente faster-pace ! oriented.
