The Scene for February 12, 2010

I caught the opening night of The 39 Steps last night; I know that Mary Damiano was there, and there presumably were other reviewers as well. As usual, I will leave the reviews to them. But I will say, I enjoyed the spectacle of four actors playing a ridiculous number of roles. It's stupid-funny humor with stupidly improbable too-fast-costume-changes, in the tradition of The Mystery of Irma Vep or Bullshot Crummond, with the fourth wall continually getting knocked down in the process.
