What did our critic think of THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP: A PENNY DREADFUL at Central Square Theater?

Cast and Crew deliver a high-quality production that is both simple and sublime; historically accurate, topically relevant; and well worth seeing. BSC Artistic Director, Alan Paul said: 'It's fair to say that Daisy has become an American classic, and when you watch the show, you will see how contemporary and relevant its themes still are.  This play endures because it speaks to the best of who we can be.  Alfred Uhry's beautifully observed characters remind us that empathy, respect, and friendship can emerge in the most unexpected places.
