Comedy

EXPRESSING WILLIE--Proving conclusively that temperament, attribute of opera-singers and long-haired virtuosos, is not for the plain businessman. FASHION, OR LIFE IN NEW YORK-- Spurious counts, innocent maidens, forging financiers, tell-tale French maids all take the audience into their confidence in whispered asides and descriptive musical renditions in this revival of Anna Cora Mowatt's comedy of the 40's. SWEENEY TODD--A mid-19th Century barber makes meat-pies of his enemies, thus moving us to mirth where he was wont to curl the hair of our grandfathers. FATA MORGANA -- An Hungarian "Seventeen" awakes in the morning to find that Love is, after all, a mirage. BEGGAR ON HORSEBACK--A pungent travesty of Big Business taking itself seriously, with Genius and Love conquering all. THE SHOW-OFF--A nicely balanced comedy that lies close to tragedy, with with an uncanny insight into a human being who considers that words outweigh deeds.
