the 80s takes the stage tonight herongate sex comedy is good but slightly flawed two and two make sex is a happy choice of play for dinner theatre a silly english sex comedy with plenty of visual humor it is alq unlike so many of the genre witty and wellwritten the slightly flawed version now running at herongate barn still provides a good evenings entertainment the story line follows the efforts of middleaged george williams to resolve his virility crisis in the timehonored way by having an affair with a young girl jane however is looking for a father figure to resolve prob lems of her own and is out to prove her independence to her livein lover nick he and georges wife clare find their own methods of deal ing with their wayward part ners the complications as they say multiply the problem with the heron gate production largely lies in raymand nashs handling of george the essence of this kind of comedy is that the charac ters no matter how ludicrous their antjcs take themselves sei theatre in review 2g42200 hiz ivijatt we must believe george de sperately needs reassurance that an affair with jane can give him what he wants and when their hangups intervene that his discomfiture is real nash plays him as if it doesnt matter a hoot whether he makes it or not as if sharing the joke with us he cheerily bustles ab out a fey little smile constantly on his lips but to george its no joke as a result most of his scenes with jane particularly in the first act simply dont work and the comedy is lost on the other hand helen- claire tingling and eileen olcary thoroughly understand what they are about tingling makes a delightful and believ able jane t with poise ana fineconiic tim- young woman who is out to get what she wants without quite knowing why she wants it olearys clare is convincing and funny too and she shows admirable restraint in her scenes with richard bauer nick but bauer doesnt appreciate the difference between comedy and farce and overacts shamelessly yet underneath all the eye- popping and jawdropping there appears to lurk a good actor as his opening scenes inti- mate alas he soon lets his mugging gain the upper hand squelching all the clever nuances of his lines and situations both jill milsom as clares annlanderstype friend ruth and larry olcary as janes father turn in solid pcrfarm- ances in supporting roles herongate is ingenious in squeezing split sets onto its small stage clares elegant drawing room and janes mes sy bedsitter are nicely accommodated without over crowding unfortunately no attempt has been made to define the separate areas with lighting both are lit throughout which is at times distracting under ann e wards smooth direction the production is appropriately fast paced as it was most of nashs problems are resolved in the second act where his few scenes with jane are surefire physical comedy the wholeact provoked non stop laughter culminating in a hilarious parlor game that more than made up for any earlier weaknesses postscript my apologies to al ward whom j called art in my last herongate review his affability and deadpan delivery make bis prcshow act a high light of an evening at
