This fast-paced and alternately funny/heartbreaking play sparkles and shines and yes, dances its way into the heart. With an almost Chekhovian verve of quick entrances and exits, it looks in depth at a backstage world of another era with crystal clarity and compassion. Chekhov's characters often wonder how they'll get through the day; the wonderful characters Hutton creates wonder how they'll get through the next show (as well as their lives.) A sublime juggling act of theatrical proportions.
