“With Guttenberg driving the play’s emotional core, one might wonder where the advertised “farcical, laugh-out-loud” comedy comes into play. The play’s namesake does receive several laughs for his witty storytelling, but he wisely surrounds himself with wild scene-stealers. The story’s over-the-top comic relief comes from his three supporting actors, who collectively portray 90 characters.
As confusing as that attempt could’ve been if not executed well, costume designer Lisa Zinni and the actors deserve a hand for the feat they’ve pulled off. Costume swaps are kept simple but effective, allowing the three multi-part actors to retain one base outfit while changing jackets, headpieces and other accessories to identify each new and recurring character.”
