Molière’s dexterity with the witty and intricate dialogue that was en vogue in the 17th century French court admittedly serves as a nice parallel to the intricacies of a story that has two sets of identical “twins” roaming the stage. (Mercury takes a stint as an identical copy of Amphitryon’s slave in order to facilitate Zeus bedroom escapades.) But the script, to its own detriment, borrows freely...

But nothing really takes the place of a good yarn, and that's where this production truly shines...
