Theatrical R
Andromache
Performed by the Aggie Players
The Aggie Players’ current production of Andromache,
written by French author Jean Racine, rivals previous first-
rate plays done by the theater program such as The Good
Doctor, Rimers of Eldritch and Twelfth Night.
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. ■
