Two wildly different productions offer fascinatingly contrasting insights into Williams’ great play.
If this production has an astronomy lesson to teach us, it’s that lightning doesn’t strike twice.
The Walnut Street production’s antic energy is both its strength and its weakness.
Keith Huff’s episodic play has powerful moments, but too much narration.
Walnut Street’s handsome production doesn’t quite cut to the core of Stephen Karam’s fine play.
Walnut Street Theatre’s talented ensemble is its own reward, but they can’t disguise the thinness of Ken Ludwig’s script.
In an often-dazzling parade of comic shtick, the sentimental side of Neil Simon tends to disappear.

In Rick Elice’s clever, energetic play, some of the heart and soul get lost.
John Logan’s play is executed skillfully at the Walnut Studio, but the intimate space robs it of its grandeur.
