My favorite scene in this show is the confrontation between Lennie and Curley; specifically the moment after everyone leaves and George and Lennie are left in the bunkhouse. Lennie is obviously shaken and disturbed by what just happened (the way any kid who has done such a thing would feel), and George, while worried about getting fired and Lennie getting in trouble and everything else that goes along with his role as protector and guardian to Lennie, shows more concern for Lennie's emotional well-being. The way that Jud and Daniel have been playing this scene in rehearsal is so emotional and shows a strong connection between the two characters that just gets you in the gut. It's moments like that that remind me why I love the theatre and have devoted over half of my life to it.
