The Triumph of Love at the Missouri Repertory Theatre
As adapted and directed by Stephen Wadsworth, Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux's classic about a woman who hides her gender and her agenda in order to snag a princely catch became a farce of the highest caliber. With lovely design work -- from set designer Thomas Lynch and costume designer Martin Pakledinaz, among others -- and an estimable sense of rhythm, the March production of The Triumph of Love gave the city a much-needed lesson: It's as much fun to laugh with the French as at them.
