| Agree. I watched again yesterday to see if my reactions from last fall were justified, and the whole thing was too frantic and played too broadly for my taste. It fell somewhere between comedy and farce, but for farce it needs hair-trigger timing and for both it needs much more clarity of speech (Odom seems like a runaway steamroller with his dialogue), and I don't think this production had it. Kara Young's strangulated squeaking wears thin quickly. But I do wonder if a different director might have made it feel more like a Mint Theater nugget rediscovered. |
