It's Good Theatre. The Weston Little Theatre's current production of Neil Simon's Rumors opened tonight to a nearly full house and everyone went home with a smile on their face. The two act comedy was one of the most polished presentations of this group in recent memories. The competent and experienced actors were well cast to their roles and able to play to each other with exacting timing. They come from varied backgrounds ranging from graduates of professional theatre schools to local amateurs but this reviewer would dare anyone to define their C.V.s by viewing the performance.
Rumors is a fast paced comedy of errors and deceit.
The guests arrive to the party to encounter a very different evening. Lies and games are the order of the night. The relationships create some very interesting twists and the personal motives of the characters are rarely in synch. The more convoluted the evening becomes, the more genuine the reactions of each to the others and the more frequent the audience laughter. Jeannette Palframan can be justifiably proud of her directorial debut.
