Description
This could have been a disaster. Seriously, turning The Comedy of Errors into a play within a play—in this case a 1940s backstage bauble about an attempt to film Shakespeare's farce in the middle of the London Blitz? Luckily, the capable, confident Ron West is in charge of the adaptation, and his inventive spirit seems to bring out the best in director Barbara Gaines as well. Sure, we could quibble here and there, but this production is such a lark, and contains such terrifically detailed performances, that our questions are mostly forgotten along the way. This is metahumor we can get behind.—KVWhen
