And while structurally it felt like it droned a bit, the sacrilegious hilarity is the perfect departure to the usual holiday theatrical fare.

Seattle Shakes is rounding out their 20th Anniversary season with Shakespeare's comedy "The Merry Wives of Windsor". And after starting out their Anniversary season with the sublime "Hamlet" (which I still can't stop thinking about) and then putting up their rollicking version of "The Threepenny Opera", it's a shame they finished off with a whimper rather than a bang with this production which, while having its moments of fun, came across as uneven, unfocused and at times confusing.

Before Woody Allen started making movies, he wrote this slapstick comedy that takes place in an embassy behind the Iron Curtain. First produced in 1966 on Broadway, and later made into a film starring Jackie Gleason, this circus of miss matched and bumbling characters make for a bracing and laugh filled evening with topical humor that rings remarkably true today.
