“...THE WALL OF WATER
quickly bursts through the dam of conventional theater for two hours of the kind
of inspired and breathtaking chaos so rare on America's stages that we may have
forgotten the word for it. The word is farce....
Even though Sherry Kramer's play is gleefully packed with all those most
cherished elements of classic farce—mistaken identity, miscommunicated messages,
misunderstood orders—the exasperations which fuel the play's wacky fires from
start to finish are recognizably—and sometimes grimly—contemporary....
What distinguishes Kramer's farce from even her most esteemed European
counterparts is four strong female roles at the heart of this eloquent
craziness....”
