Really enjoyed this show. Funny, witty, lots of fun literary references. I would have preferred the text to be memorized but that was really a small detail in what was otherwise a fun show.
Lots of energy in this dialog in hell (where we suppose Lillian Hellman and Mary McCarthy are now)–or post mortem dialog. Even knowing little about these litertary figures, I learned about their unfortunate dispute and preparation for a legal battle.
Some costuming and make-up would have been nice, but clearly they had prepared this performance with much rehearsal.
