Let me start by saying I feel like I have more experience with 70's and 80's "The Price is Right" models than most students who would be given this assignment. Yup ... I'm old. I looked up the 70's and the first one that popped up was from the year I was born, 1975. The models were just as I remembered from the 80's but with worse hair. All frozen smiles and floofy arms, caressing the objects in a semi sexual manner. I used to be able to do a very good impression of them but I might be a little rusty.
The Rivals
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. On about page two I was rolling my eyes thinking how much I was going to hate this play, but no. It was pretty funny. There were times of dry humor (my favorite) that I could see being hysterical if done by the right actor. In particular, the scene between Absolute and his father when the Dad is throwing a hissy fit telling his Absolute to calm down when he is already calm. Yes, it would be better if I could give you the particular Act, but I can't bare to look through it again at the moment. Nor can I bare to continue typing.
