Two reviews have come out for “Philosophus!”

First, Melinda Miller wrote a review for BuffaloNews, indicating she was not 100% thrilled with the farcical nature of the comedy, but yet declared the show “funny” and praised the great acting.

Second, Ann Marie Cusella wrote an extremely positive review of the show for the happening website, BuffaloVibes (although she did correctly chastise me a bit for areas where the script could be tightened).

Some highlights from her great review:

Mr. Crowley’s script is chock-a-block with witty dialogue, broad comedy, and is very, very funny. He expertly melds what appears to be complex thought with farce. However, I think some of the dialogue between the Baron and Frau Schmidt and the Frau and Voltaire could have been tightened up. At time the dialogue seemed a bit drawn out and detracted somewhat from the general hilarity. This is a minor glitch in an otherwise very well written script.

Director of this production and Founder/Executive Director of Alleyway Theatre, Neal Radice, chose an outstanding cast for Philosphus. He keeps the action moving, the pratfalls coming, and highlights the particular skills of each of his actors while they chew up the scenery.

Philosophus is great fun. I enjoyed it thoroughly. You can see it at Alleyway Theatre until October 6th.
