Absolutely Hysterical!! I laughed so hard it hurt!!!, September 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Inspecting Carol (Paperback)
This play, the first I've seen of Daniel Sullivan's, is possibly the funniest holiday script that I have ever read, and the production was the funniest I've seen in years. It is a perceptive satire on the theater business that is thankfully short on the inside jokes and theatrical allusions that often make this sort of material dry for a wide audience.
Everyone who has ever procrastinated can relate to the drastic situation that the fictional Soapbox Playhouse finds itself in with only four days to put together a show.
Meanwhile, the struggling company has reached only half it's goal of sighning new subscribers, and the National Endowment for the Arts is withholding it's annual grant, pending inspection by a caseworker who is scheduled to observe the worst show in the company's nine-year history.
To say any more would spoil the rest of the show. I could not recommend this show enough!!!
