The Metromaniacs Was the Farce I Needed!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 8 seconds
Today, I went to the Shakespeare Theatre of NJ to see The Metromaniacs!
As the Star-Ledger‘s Patrick Maley wrote, The Metromaniacs “is a farce for the sake of farce, and where there is a story here, it is only a vehicle for the gags.”
After sixteen months as a widow, I needed a good laugh and a relaxing afternoon.
The Shakespeare Theatre described the play as,
This outrageous and hilarious play from the 1700s gives Molière a run for his money. David Ives’ superb translation and adaptation of Piron’s original will have you grinning with delight over the nimble word play and clever wit that dominates every moment of this wonderful farce.
I went with my friend Arnold and had a wonderful time.
Would I have preferred to have Jan sitting next to me? Yes.
However, in this new phase of my life, I know one self-evident truth, the love Jan and I shared will never die!
