Overruled

The one thing that I was struck with when I walked away for the theater was the fact that the actors had such chemistry with one another. They really were talking and listening to each other. It seemed a

It was amazing to see how the actors interacted with each other in such a comical yet serious way. I know that seems like an oxymoron but these actors were saying extremely humorous lines with such a straight face and with such dramatic tension. All the characters actually looked as if they were thinking on stage. All in all I was impressed by this play and how the actors really used each other and how they all seemed to have given circumstances and obtainable actions. The whole play was ironic seeing that two couples, in the same predicament, fell in love with each other’s spouses. s if every decision made, as characters, was for the first time.

I was also impressed by how Dennis Mosley played such a contrasting character from his role in Enrico. As an audience member I was actually able to see each of the actor’s thought process on stage. I was impressed by his versatility as an actor to switch dialect and actual type of play all together. I really enjoyed the plot of the play and the way that tension was built and then released and then built again. It also showed me that you really can put everything on the other person to achieve what you need and create a reachable action. I believe all the actors in the play really put it onto the other actor that they were interacting with. It proved how acting really is based upon actions and trying to overcome certain objectives in the play. I know that this is not a critique on Overruled but I was impressed to be able to see an actor switch into such a different and diverse role.
