...circus act it is, though a highly enjoyable one. Ayckbourn turns the troubles of married life into a high speed adventure, and Ruiz takes him up on every challenge. Aristotle might not have been pleased, but so what? The three unities can be left for classics majors to ponder...
Ruiz makes the bold decision to take on Ayckbourn's play at full speed. Using the split stage like a trapeze, he has his actors bounce, trip and tumble from one level to the next in rapid succession. Props fly, clothes come off and on and off again, and lines of dialogue ricochet off the walls like bullets...

Amazon.com poster child for Internet speculation, shot from $184 to $159 to--gads!--$210. With lightning speed the reversal was reversed, and what had been shaping up as a seismic shift in the market turned out to be just a sneeze...
