The WTG production succeeds largely because it heightens the absurdity of a play that takes a comic look at catastrophe.
What the play lacks in surprise, the Wilbury treatment makes up for in excellent staging, acting, and a commitment to physical theater.
Authoritarianism is at its most chilling, at least in the theater, when everyone, the weak and the strong, takes it for granted.
