An Egyptologist with a midlife crisis walks into a bar ...
Give Tom Moran a lot more credit -- this 10-minute play is not just a joke: He cares too much about his characters, including Ted, to turn them into a punchline. The comedy plays beautifully in "You Damn Well Can Take It With You," but there's so much more, including Louise's firm hand in guiding Ted back to a calmer state of mind. For all the talks about the underworld and deities in this play, its winning ingredient is the humanity shown.
And yes, it's very funny.
