...sort there is still a wonderful collection of clowns. Pompey (Peter Ginna) is a gangly, very funny fellow, particularly when paired with the troglydite hangman David Van Taylor. Sam Samuels utter perfect obnoxiousness turns the foppish Lucio into a narcissistic climber. And Bill Rauch has a short but memorable cameo as the incompetent officer Elbow...
