Shirley Wilbur as Lily provides most of the play's humor. Her cackling laugh and marvelous expression convey her character's wifty lunacy. Everything she knows she has learned from television; she rants and raves about the savagery of the Third World as she plans to boil her husband "like a lobster--lobsters don't feel pain." Guy Strauss as Mitch, the butt of most of these jokes, plays the vegetable (or lump, or carrot) brilliantly; when he begins to recover towards the end, his twitches and moans are appallingly funny...

WARREN'S WEAKNESS, HOWEVER, does not hamper the rest of the performers, who, with their loud resounding voices and melodramatic characterizations convey Don Giovanni's licentiousness. Their hatred, and not Giovanni himself, provides the momentum for the three-hour production. As Donna Anna, whose father Giovanni killed after failing to seduce the daughter, Anita Ashur conveys brilliantly her character's maniacal desire for revenge through her vibrantly loud voice. Ashur's clearly enunciated voice has a spectacular range, and even during songs with the ensemble, her voice stands...
