Title: Stuff & Nonsense
Product review: Ill-assorted actors costumed for Chekhov, in a setting passable for Sheridan, sound insane by mouthing the language of Shakespeare, and wander in a chaos of acting styles through mechanical scenes lacking pace or structural purpose. No detail of the play is allowed to be natural or genuine: Hamlet's father, for instance, is a flying statue obviously errant from `Don Giovanni' until he turns into huge talking head reminiscent of Miss Piggy (which at least justifies the guards who announce him with techniques ranging from `Beyond the Fringe' to `Murder She Wrote'), before disappearing into silly special effects lifted from `Ghost Busters.' It sad to see so many talented people wasting their time, and sadder still to have spent more than twenty-five cents to watch them doing so.
