...workplace comedy reminiscent of Barney Miller or The Mary Tyler Moore Show. In contrast to sitcoms, which have years to develop nuances, the play instantly sketches the ensemble's mutual mockeries. There's the fussbudget (Lewis J. Stadlen), the hypochondriac (Ron Orbach), the braggart (J.K. .

Freud believed an ex-patient of Jung's named...
