"...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...."
