...outcasts of the play, Herbert Dean (Leo-Pierre Roy) and Kitty Dean (Dede Schmeiser), whose gaucherie sets off the Cavendish style, demand obnoxiousness from their performers. They get it here, in full doses, but a bit more variety might help them get through the last two acts without turning off the audience...
...scribe, Clare McGorrian as Eforeti the Queen, Mary Demerest as an anachronistic Brooklyn servant, and Michael Cohen as the thief Ali Katz, all have moments, but something doesn't gel. Cohen, especially, shows raw talent, but lacks experienced directorial guidance to help him bring his Peter Lorre persona off. Dede Schmeiser also shows potential as Rosetta Stone, a character fashioned in the mold of Gracie Allen.

The stand-ins played well, taking the Hampshire pair to three sets before falling...
...second slot, Libby Pierpont grabbed the first set, nailing Eagle Dede Kreiger with accurate overheads and deep shots to the corners. Falling behind 3-0 in the next stanza, Pierpont came back to knot the score at six all. The nine-point tiebreaker went the distance, with the final point deciding the match...
