![]() ![]() ![]() Best of all, this play feels fresh and contemporary while it's clearly of its own period, and the satiric wit easily transfers to our own time.Īs Candida, Lisa Peretti is just the sort of intelligent, elegant, forthright woman who would define the emerging feminine identity of the 20th Century. Brisk pacing keeps the essentially silly, comic plot moving along of its own momentum, which entangles us in its machinery without us having to lose time or thought on how unlikely it all is. The language is beautifully delivered, and the abundance of ideas are neatly and cogently expressed. This handsomely mounted production, confidently directed by Cynthia White, has a strong, talented cast who perfectly fit the types and manners of their characters, in all but one instance. In his early comedy, "Candida", all of that is evident, as well as a strong, powerfully independent woman to distinguish between love which is meaningful and love which is merely fanciful, between ideas of belief and belief put into action. Shaw play, done well, is effortlessly intelligent, fiercely witty, and filled with sharp conflict between incisively drawn characters, against a backdrop of passionate political conviction and wry amusement. ![]() AISLE SAY Seattle CANDIDA By George Bernard ShawĢ04 N. ![]()
