‘The Catholic Girl’s Guide To Losing Your Virginity’ is a comic play that has engaged the cultural circles of the US of A. Directed by Eli Gonda, it traces the life of a girl played by Annie Hendy, who has also written the play, as she witnesses dating, men and sex while trying to hold on to her virginity until matrimony.
Initially, it is a notion instilled by her Catholicism but as she nears her twenty fifth year, it becomes a frantic search for her ‘first mate’. Hendy charms all with her brilliant performance. In fact, the frantic search is so masterfully hilarious that the satire hits bang on target. However, she is somewhat overshadowed by co-actor Cyrus Alexander who plays multiple characters and has more interaction with the gorgeous set by Tom Buderwitz.
The versatile Alexander plays a variety of roles ranging from a pious priest to the predatory male. He also enacts the speed dater, a horny bar patron and a jock to name a few. Doing justice to each role, he gives certain uniqueness to each with a varied voice, stance, mannerisms, and body language. Yes, he stole the show.
