...stage presence, one of self-righteous arrogance, convincingly meets the delivery demands of Wilde's clever epigrams. Yet Hood is just as equally successful as a lovesick Wilde, willing to do anything for Lord Alfred Douglas, or Bosie (Shawn Snyder '03), whose father, the Marquis of Queensbury (Paul Monteleoni '01) begins the mess with his charges of "posing sodomite...
...Night offers character misreading so severe that they must be intentional; while an interesting concept, it is unfortunate that Shakespeare's play offers virtually no support for the interpretations presented on stage. The most blatant example arises in the portrayal of Malvolio, Lady Olivia's Puritanical steward, by Paul Monteleoni '01.

...play's most challenging role by showing us glimpses of sincerely felt pain and tenderness in the midst of Bananas' outrageous chatter and acrobatics, including watering the flowers on the wall and climbing on and under furniture. Meanwhile, in the "normal real world," her choir-boy son Ronnie (Paul Monteleoni '01) draws laughs as he attempts to bomb the visiting Pope, Bunny withholds her cooking from Artie until their honeymoon while freely dispensing sex, and Artie himself has his wife and girlfriend side by side as he vacillates between tender words and cruelty towards each. The plot has an element...
...comedy does not escape this production. As the precociously naive and fashion-impaired George Aaronow, Juri Henley-Cohn ('00) delicately handles and balances a role which, had it been exaggerated, might have destroyed the naturalism of the piece. As Shelley Levene, an aging seller desperate for a comeback, Paul Monteleoni ('00) continually provides the play with energy and freshness. If ever this humorous vitality turns unwieldy, Monteleoni always manages to rein himself back in with a sudden change of tone or an expression that reestablishes realism in the scene. Although saddled with one of the play's less developed characters...
