Show Theater The Tempest By Shane I. I Callahan AE Editor The evenings that took to the stage with The Tempest produced a lighter outcome This lighter version was well done as a whole Of course there are the flaws that detract from any performance in nearly every single amateur production The forgetting of lines or the overshadowing of one actor or actress over another The Keanu Reaves accent that was so annoying annoying annoying annoy annoy- ing in the motion picture production tion of Much Ado About Nothing was present here with Ferdinand Or the overuse of percussion and also the quickness at which the lines were thrown out Although Tom Carroll as Prospero stumbled through a few lines his performance was astute t and his words pronounced very clearly Jen Klenk who per per- formed Caliban did so with such vivacious shouting and jumping about that the creature seamed to tobe tobe tobe be more horrible played by Pat Rosier added the humor very well although did overshadow some in the course of the play Haydon Lane who performed Antonio was another good at attribute attribute attribute at- at tribute by the very fact that she was simple and not overbearing yet completed here strand in the thenet thenet thenet net which caught the audience And the final one was Miranda Miran Miran- da played by Heidi Derres She played the perfect virtuous virgin with her never failing acting and her blonde hair and beautiful face Although I like to see Shakespeare done more slowly and overly the play overall was pleasant to watch It was an interesting evening with With Shakespeare |
