Regrets Only
Paul Rudnick writes one-liners both hilarious and hip. Regrets Only tackles a serious theme -- equal marriage -- sort of. When George W. Bush asks Jack McCullough to fine tune an amendment define marriage as solely between a man and a woman, Jack's family, maid, and gay friend Hank explode. Rudnick dabbles with the theme and undercuts his assertions with jokes. But ah, the jokes! Director Jessica John delivers a sparkling production at Diversionary. No weak links in the cast, each of whom makes one bold choice after another, somehow managing to put genuine feeling into near-caricature roles. Matt Scott's set and Alina Bokovikova's stylish costumes make major contributions. Rudnick doesn't so much argue an issue as flatter several viewpoints (marriage is for everyone; marriage sux, etc.), but what a funny ride along the way!
