Peter Rouleau

If the show has a star, it is Adam Brett as the Butler Wadsworth (Curry's role in the film.) In the opening, he welcomes the audience to Boddy Manor, a large New England estate. In his mannerisms, knowing smile, and fraudulently obsequious tone, Brett calls to mind the Master of Ceremonies in "Cabaret." The play is set in 1954 against the backdrop of the Red Scare; the main characters are all connected to the federal government in some fashion, and there are several lines which are especially amusing to a D.C. audience.
