Review by Kathleen Campion
The Irish Rep is offering a high-spirited farce for the holidays. London Assurance, a nineteenth-century drawing room comedy is so completely over the top guffaws are sometimes in order. A huge cast on a tiny stage benefits from some lively choreography. Mugging at the audience is encouraged. And a few vaudevillian tricks work surprisingly well. The price of a ticket buys you a little “time travel.”
