...current program gives us Miss Hayes and Mr. Evans (both a bit insecure in their lines on opening night) trying vainly to recapture the aura of their 1940 production of Twelfth Night together. It suggests nothing so much as the U.S.S. Caine's Captain Queeg trying to relive his triumphal solution of the bygone cheese theft when a quart of fresh Strawberries was unaccounted for.
