...leads do attempt to lend substance to this thin material. Brian DeVries is charming as the hapless Ruthven, flailing about like a singing Bertic Wooster. Tori Jueds is strong as the prim Rose Maybud, though one gets frustrated with her etiquette-obsessed, lightweight character. Rose is most interesting when interacting with her social opposite and some-time-fiance, the lusty sailor Richard, played on some evenings by Douglas Miller. Richard should be pure comic relief for the audience: a nautical libertine among the prim British. Unfortunately, although Miller's voice is strong and expressive, his stiff, blocky stage presence...

Rona reels off a year-by-year record of the protests of the Sixties, which is just boring. Twiss isn't able to lend much variety to her portrayal, and because Rona didn't go through much of a change until the Seventies, her obsessive rehashing of the Sixties is non-revelatory. When the spotlight settles on any of these three characters, one hopes it will soon move on to Sparger or Wanda...
