...attraction of the rather self-pitying lyrics may begin to pall after a while. It is sometimes difficult to take Morrissey's appealingly depressed schoolboy voice very seriously, even when he is uttering outrageously repulsive sentiments like: "...by rights you should be bludgeoned in your...

...cast that makes the production. Benedick (Mike Efron) transforms himself convincingly from the cynical bachelor to lovesick schoolboy. He is at ease with the verse and knows how to communicate the jokes buried in the Elizabethan English to the audience without awkwardness.

He plays all six roles, ranging from the piggy schoolboy Miggy to bone-dumb Desert Storm veteran Crazy Willie to their ditsy mother Gladyz, a rare drag part shaped with candor rather than cant. He also depicts a surgically handicapped brother who has been shunted away to an institution; a bleach-blond brother in deep denial about everything from his origins to his sexuality; and the clan patriarch, feared by all the others as an epic bully but visible in the final sequence as just a hollow never-was clinging...
