Post Gazette: "A farce requires five basics:
• Lots of slamming doors.
• Energetic actors willing to make fools of themselves and take off their clothes.
• A steady flow of adolescent sex talk and situations.
• Sight gags galore.
• An easy and obvious target to lampoon.
'What the Butler Saw,' the latest offering of the Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre, follows the check list faithfully. There's an added dimension -- it's British, not French -- so it clings to a kind of traditional prudishness, like an old tea cozy too dear to part with."
