[THEATER REVIEW] Wonder of the World at Barrington Stage
7.25.06
'Wonder of the World' is a barrel of laughs
By Louise Kennedy, Globe Staff
LENOX -- "Wonder of the World" is the kind of play where it somehow seems plausible that a woman would carry a platter of trout aspic onto a bus. It's the kind of play where people say utterly outrageous things so soberly that, for a split second, they don't sound outrageous at all. It's the kind of play where you find yourself laughing hysterically about divorce, alcoholism, murder, sexual deviance, and suicide. You can't believe you're laughing, but you are. A lot.
It's hard to describe this antic, wild, ridiculous, and yet somehow touching production by the Barrington Stage Company without giving too much away. For part of the delight in David Lindsay-Abaire's skewed, hypercharged tragi-farce of a domestic comedy is the element of surprise. From the aspic on, we accept that pretty much anything can happen here. Still, we never know exactly which one thing to expect next, and it's the giddy randomness (which turns out to be not so random) that gets us laughing until we're out of breath.
