Mice and Men The lobby area was very easy going; people who were there to watch hanged around and talked to teachers and sales people. The sales people were very nice, and in character too, which was a rather interesting idea to me. One of them only grunted and stayed silence as he sold things, while the other was outgoing and trying to continuously chatter away. The auditorium wasn't filled however it was very chit-chattery and people had brought friends with them so they all were quite comfortable. There was no box office, or if there was I must have missed it since there was only a table set out to collect the money! Everyone in the audience was wearing comfortable, outside clothes.

The actors were fabulous, George never stood still for a second as his character, either he was talking, or paying attention and wiggling when he was listening. Humans never stay still, so when Curley did this awkward stilled hand motion when someone was talking to him, I almost laughed because it was so unnatural. That was the only problem I had with the play, it was how unnervingly unnatural Curley was. It bothered me a lot. Meanwhile Curley's wife was better, she knew what she had to do, however at some points I felt like she wasn't able to express herself correctly, leading me to think maybe she's thinking to hard about her lines.
