The Marriage of Figaro a GO! in the LA Weekly
The LA Weekly is a fan of Figaro!
The LA Weekly made The Marriage of Figaro a GO! and reviewed it in a Theater Feature story!
"The shenanigans unfold on Duncombe's production design of burgundy and blue, accented by two suspended chandeliers. The set's symmetry and elegance work in pleasing juxtaposition against the mayhem of interlopers hurling themselves out of windows, or pretending to. The solid ensemble works in tight conformity to the style: Frank's lecherous Count is a comic standout of barely concealed slime, offset by the grace of Mance's weary, dignified Countess. And Maria Christina Benthall offers vivacious delight as the libidinous niece of the gardener."
