Farce is such a bitch to really nail! This is a conflicting piece. The cast and pacing are great! Joshua Wade Miller and J. Robert Spencer deliver the tongue twisting patter with precision and speed (which was discernible despite the terrible sound problems the screening was having). The ingenues, Jeffrey Schecter and Allison Munn, perform their roles with the requisite naivety and guilelessness. Supporting players Chryssie Whitehead and J. Elaine Marcos also nail their bits! However, there is just something mean spirited at the heart of the piece that denies it the joy that watching performers fight for The Goal so much fun. Also, The Goal is not as clearly defined or pursued, as it changes as the plot progresses. What was to be a scheme to get sex, then mutates to falling in love, then it is to actually produce the play that was used to obtain the first goal. This doesn't allow the characters to play it to the life-or-death hilt that a great farce requires. However, even with the mutating motivations, the cast does continue to maintain the wackiness of their characters, which is why I am conflicted. Perhaps it would be best described as six characters in search of a farce. http://jaycbird.blogspot.com
