Review:
Perfect Wedding by Robin Hawdon is a perfect play for community theater: it is an attempt at a Feydeau farce about hanky-panky and lovers' mish-mash as a wedding is about to take place. With simplistic writing, lots of doors opening and closing and forced overacting by most of the cast, a lot of the idiocy that takes place is fun, and it gets funnier in Act 2 as it reaches a Shakespearean ending. All's well, isn't it? Dayna Grayber shines in the cast as a housekeeper - she is totally believable in the midst of the chaos ensuing.
Director Teresa K. Pond keeps things physically jumping; costumes by Cherie Cunningham and lighting by Perchik Kreiman-Miller are just fine. Good luck to the enthusiastic Vital Theatre Company.
