“The Lover” is an intimate experience for cast and audience
“I wanted my first major production to be captivating.’The Lover’ was smart, sexy, and witty. I think it really impressed the audience with the level of acting and depth of the storyline,” Russell said.
No doubt the audience adored the darling married couples’ attempt to liven up their relationship. The sophisticated Sarah (Byndloss), and dashing Richard (Venable) dazzled the audience with a spectacular game of role play. The audience was pulled in by Venable’s suave performance as he romanced Byndloss in a tantalizing game of cat and mouse improved by Gabriel’s sophisticated aire of sexuality and confidence.
“I thought the play was fabulous!” said sophomore Heather Ross. ” It was mysterious and kept you guessing until the end.”
The play immortalized a classic old time feel, warming the audience with humble charm and tasteful humor. With superb acting, both actors filled the stage with an emotional performance emphasizing key aspects of the characters to entice the audience.
“It felt great to challenge myself,” said Christopher Venable, ” the character evolved throughout the play. We really tried to convey the tempest mindset though our acting.”
Playing in Max Noah, the stage felt like a window into the secret life of a married couple. This was no mundane couple, however. The play turned racy as Byndloss stepped out of the penny loafer housewife mantra into alluring red heels, cat crawling across the stage in a steamy display of passion.
“There was so much to each character,” said Byndloss. “I really felt like the part of Sarah helped me grow as a actress, not to mention the audience loved it!”
The audience was captivated by the storyline watching the odd married couple exchange displays of passion until the mood of the play suddenly turned hostile as Richard’s character got tired of playing games. The twist kept audiences guessing to the end.
“The play was provocative and original,” said saphomore Cody Mosher. “It represented the darker side of married life.”
The play was a prime spotlight on the GCSU theatre department. GCSU theatre program encourages students across GCSU regardless of major, to come enjoy the shows and promote the theatre department.
“There was a personal connection to the characters on stage,” said Steven Walters. ” The director used great mannerisms in the play that everyone could relate to.”
“The Lover” was a spectacular performance that charmed and entertained the audiences. Students from GCSU, and even GMC were drawn down a romantic path filled with twists and turns that kept the audience engaged in the storyline. With a complex storyline, “The Lover” highlights a different perspective on the typical love story.
