...actors in this production are uniformly excellent. They all play degenerates of one sort or another, and the two most degenerate of the bunch, Lady Sneerwell and Lady Teazle, are superbly portrayed by Cavada Humphrey and Jan Farrand. The gossip-mongering fop, Sir Benjamin Backbite, is amusingly interpreted by Thayer David...
