    This is delightful! Totally original, smart, funny-- I could go on. I was carried from beginning to end with important questions: Is the Quimbly in the cage? Once it's freed from its cage, will they find it? What will Quimbly mania lead these townspeople to do? Who believes and who doesn't? The play offers eight well-developed roles-- even the parts of Townspeople 1 and 2 give actors a chance to shine. Any theatre would to well to welcome the Quimbly to its stage.
