She Stoops to Conquer
Thursday, January 31st, 2008 09:43 amWhich is a play by Oliver Goldsmith, first performed in 1773 .I saw it yesterday, performed by Crocky's theatre group.
(Unsurprisingly,) it was absolutely amazing.
I love seeing Crocky act, she is such a good actress, and plays her role (Mr Hardcastle) with much vigour and enthusiasm. It was wonderful, watching her, and I am insanely proud of her. Yesterday, the audience consisted mostly of lecturers - like Crocky's piano teacher and son, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves, too. Pride-inflated, I agreed to everything she said about Crocky's great acting.
Most of the other actors I remembered from the King Lear production they did two semesters back, and it was great fun watching them perform a comedy now, how differently they approached their characters. Especially the girl who starred as Dorothy Hardcastle did an absolutely wonderful job, as did Kate Hardcastle - she was perfect for that role, as was the actor of Tony Lumpkin. Everything they did seemed to have such an ease about it, which surprised me after what Crocky had told me about the problems they had with getting the language right at first.
So, a wonderful night out, and I really regret that I can't see them every night this week, I really would have loved to! They are really doing a wonderful job, and their audience loves them.
