Her eyes really do sparkle; she really does blush; and we believe her eagerness when she opens Colm's letters. We trust the warmth in her voice when she plainly states, "I do love you, my darling." Occasionally, Gunn seems more a mainstage actress, when her movements are somewhat big for the small Dunster House JCR, but her performance is nonetheless wholly believable and delightful to watch...
