So, maybe this is vaguely narcissistic to parade around, but I suppose there's no shame in sharing. The following review is from Paul Gessell and Patrick Langston of the
Ottawa Citizen:
"Sly Work a Laugh-Fest
Imagine a cast of actors who seem to have just escaped from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and then find themselves trying to perform a totally slapstick version of The Taming of the Shrew. The result is On The Sly by Formerly Witty Productions of Walla Walla, Washington. The plot is totally ridiculous. But don't be put off. On The Sly is like a misbehaving but lovable child.
The play opens as a drunk man accidentally wanders into the home of a rich, eccentric lady. She decides to have some fun with the uninvited guest and soon manipulates him into starring, alongside a wandering troupe of actors, in a wicked re-imagining of The Taming of the Shrew. The six actors have more energy than a room full of two-year-olds. Their actions are totally juvenile and downright silly. But only a mean old sourpuss could watch this little comedy and not die laughing.
On The Sly continues at Alumni Auditorium until Sunday."
