Pfarrer also has the good sense to leave out any romantic complications. Yancy Butler plays Natasha Binder, a young woman whose search for her father leads to the discovery of the hunting game.

...Harvard-Radcliffe Summer Theater opened "What the Butler Saw" by Joe Orton last night. Producer Tina Tseng and director David McMahon took a tired comedy and made an equally tired show.

Luckily for us, school is on the way and we can look forward to something, anything, else...
