Review for the play, The Miracle Worker. (Theatre appreciation) - Essay ExampleTo say that the acting in this play was awesome is an understatement. Lauren Lovett as Anne Sullivan is exceptionally brilliant. What was striking about her performance among other things was her enthusiasm. I have been to many plays before, and there is always a sense of being an observer. You are watching somebody else perform, even if it is a very good performance. Rarely are you actually drawn into the play. Lauren Lovett was Anne Sullivan for this one night. As she explained things to Helen Keller which can't be seen or heard, one's own imagination was touched. And I would certainly think I was not the only person feeling like that in the Theatre. One of the things which this play, perhaps had to do was to convey to the audience what a difficult, perhaps nearly impossible task which Anne Sullivan had to do. That actually is achieved. You appreciate the enthusiasm and the dedication that Anne Sullivan had to reach young Helen. Her idealism is almost contagious.
