detail, beautifully and deliberately
staged, and warranted to wear from
beginning to end. While the produc-
ton borders sensationally near melo-
drama, in it's highest form, the atmos-
phere of the play is entirely different,
being of intense dramatic interest with
a merry whirl of comedy that keeps
the action of the performance lively
and snappy through the four vivacious
acts.
