Chuck Hudson, the director, keeps
his able cast in almost constant motion on the stage, even through the scene
changes. The pace and timing of the performances, essential for farce, is sharp
throughout, from pauses to double-takes, and Mr. Hudson patiently lets the humor
build on its own rather than trying to rush the laughs with stage business or
mugging.

"Pick of the week: The
Pearl Theatre Company's revival of Oliver Goldsmith classic... is a delight from start to finish...Under the lively,
very physical direction of Chuck Hudson, the Pearl's ensemble sparkles and
shines in this witty, merry production...prepare to sit back, relax, and laugh a lot."

Hudson and this company that nobody lags behind."
