How the Other Half Loves
The North Coast Rep's staging showsAlan Ayckbourn's 1969 theatrical fiasco to be a stellar comedy of the period, featuring a chain of constant comic confusion. With swift, precise direction by Geoffrey Sherman, whimsical period costumes by Elisa Benzoni, and an inventive set design by Marty Burnett, the production bursts wit the effervessence of a bit of the bubbly. James Newcomb is British reserve mixed with continental hijinks as the conservative boss, Frank Foster. Jacquelyn Ritz is all elegance and English charm as his wife, Fiona. Benjamin Cole ismarvelous as the outwardly timid William, while Noelle Marion shows great character growth as his introverted wife, Mary. Though Christopher M. Williams and Sharon Rietkerk do well as Bob and Teresa, their accents seem artificial. The entire cast acts as a well-prepared ensemble, wringing every last bit of laughter out of clever material.Critic's Pick.
