Reviews
REVIEWS"Classic comedies...with subversive details that keep catching you off guard....The evening...percolates with actorly inventiveness and a willingness to pursue a warped logic step by step into the land of absurdity. Has a heady sense of discovery, of seeing prototypical situations being twisted and spun to the point of dizziness, of disparate comic minds bouncing off each other." - The New York Times, Read More
"...an enriching collaboration between veteran masters of off-the-wall humor." - Variety, Read More
"A giddy delight." - New York Post
