Stage Review: St. Vincent has some laughs with dinner-party farce

Post Gazette: "This is the 1988 farce by, of all people, Neil Simon. It came right between Simon's 'Brighton Beach' trilogy and 'Lost in Yonkers,' all darker comedies in which he reached with some success toward Chekhovian substance. But in 'Rumors' he took a break and tackled the very different mechanism of farce, and to do him credit did so with a cool craftsman's eye unseduced by sentiment."
