From her first lesson on pronouncing the vowels to her L~vig am06 offer to move in after Sarah has moved out, her interactions with Westcott are not only humorous, but enthralling. Both Mendell and Douglass gave completely convincing portrayals of their deaf characters. Mendell's performance as the concerned friend and "revolutionary" student was excellent. (And rumor has it that Douglass even had a certain theater arts director convinced she was actually deaf.) Credit for this must go in part to tile production's voice coach, Kevin Iga '92. Many members of this production have a great familiarity with the deaf community, and this helped lend the performance its utter realism as a window into that world. 7Z~~ Which brings us to Sarah Norman, played by Christine Duffy. The pro- gram for Children ?f a Lesser GodI says that "Christine Duffy is a sophomore at Northeastern University. She has been deaf since birth. She is secretary of the Northeastern University Deaf Club." Duffy writes her own- note: "I want to say thank you to Brian Dunkel for how much he helped me in drama. I learned a lot from him and I really appreciate it." It is hard to believe that Duffy needed much help in drama. She was a nat- ural on the stage, and her performance was nothing short of mesmerizing. Westcott spoke the words that Duffy signed while her face lit up with the emotions behind those words. In this fashion, the relationship between the I two characters came alive. j The stage setting was very simple, and this was to the production's credit. It was the actors' performances that made this play (though Dunkel deserves ample credit as director), and a lot of props and scenery were unnecessary. HIowever, it was the use of "invisible" props that provided one of the only major flaws in the performance. At times the characters utilized "props" that did not appear real to the audience because they had not been fully imagined or realized by the actors. After serving herself at an imaginary salad bar, Sarah dropped her invisible plate onto the table in-such a careless manner that audience members had to wonder why someone wasn't on the floor pick- Get $X00iACK C^sH from ing up the shattered pieces of the dish. Yet, this exceptional student produc- tion was fully capable of surviving a few pieces of invisible broken glass. ertz Penske Task Renkal
