...twelve shorts spanning the golden age of Warner Brothers animation. The inspired lunacy of these cartoon masterpieces lies in their simultaneous frivolity and sophistication. This rare combination has preserved the appeal of these cartoons for over half a century and makes them even more valuable in today's wasteland devoid of truly creative programming.

The current American Repertory Theater (ART) production, based on Robert Brustein's adaptation and directed by Francois Rochaix, chooses to play up the comic-ironic aspects without jettisoning...
