First I was intrigued by the character name Mrs. Teitelbaum, since that was my mother’s maiden name. This character was nothing like my mother, but she was enjoyable for her habits and special powers. And the entire play is enjoyable for its great comic dialogue and physical comedy, the overlying theme of science versus spirituality/mysticism, and the air of expectancy we share with Amy and Jeff. Not since “Bell, Book, and Candle” have I enjoyed an encounter with a witch so much. Read, stage, and enjoy!
