When it came to gender fluid plays, William Shakespeare was way ahead of the curve even 400 years ago. At the time, young males routinely played the female roles anyway. He had already made cross-dressing  hidden identity a part of “The Merchant of Venice” and would do so again in “As You Like It.”

They sure don't write them like Holiday anymore. A play about the foibles of a family of rich White people that supplies no meaningful social or racial context, a critique of the world of wealth which is bafflingly superficial, and a romance almost lacking in visible courtship, playwright Philip Barry's 1928 Broadway hit has very little claim to be produced now. Yet it's given a sumptuous and impressive production by Arena Stage in Washington. Go for the performances, the costumes, and the direction, and you'll be fine. Seek more, and you may be disappointed.

Philip Barry's 1928 classic is a romantic comedy, as advertised, but its layers of bittersweet emotional valence come through in this handsome production, directed by Anita Maynard-Losh.

This play is immediate—one to see and share and talk about.
