I saw this production 25 years ago at the Tarragon Theatre and it still lives in my memory. It introduced me to the brilliance of Nick Enright. It doesn't fits the definition of farce because of its poignant moments but the way there's so many close calls and secrets make it play as one. The dialogue is sparkling and it's a lot of just plain fun.
