Under the direction of Cynthia Belgrave, the drama couples moments of wry, subtle wit with rollicking belly-laugh humor. The all black cast is extremely talented, and so large it at times overwhelms the comfortable little theater on Bergen Street, especially in its climactic altar scene. It%u2019s impossible to speak of every performer, but of particular note is Eddie Prometheous Prather, the groom-to-be, who gives one of the finest (and funniest) performances of drunkenness I%u2019ve ever witnessed. Also of interest is the delicate performance of Christine Campbell, a lady-in-waiting, and Ms. Lorenze as the matriarchal grandmother.%u201c Bluff Man%u2019s Blind,%u201d the first play by novelist Gary Youree, is an ambitious work, one which attempts to separate illusion from essence while leaving the true self intact. The process is, as it sounds, a painful one, but neither is it achieved without warmth and humor. As audience, we are asked to enter that world of Pirandello where theater and life become indisfingushable, where drama is not so much dependen: on what happens as what the characters will become. At its finer moments the dialogue is superb, but the play does suffer from a general looseness%u2014especially at its end%u2014that a firm editing hand would do much to mend. The performances, however, are nearly faultless, with Stephen Dym, Carole Leverett and Margo Youree exhibiting a degree of professionalism not often found off the commercial stage.%u201cThe Wedding%u201d and %u201cBluff Man%u2019s Blind,%u201d directed byCynthia Belgrave, 357 Bergen Street [bet. 4th and 5thAves.], Fri. & Sat. at 8pm, Sun. at 3pm through Dec. 15. $3,T.D.F. Voucher accepted. Refreshments.%u2018Invalid%u2019Is R vv - d n gBY JEAN LENIHANCompany, the Park Slope Community Theater, has opened it%u2019s fifth season with a new adaptation of Molieres classic farce, %u201cThe Imaginary Invalid%u201d . The 17th century story now takes place in the 1930%u2019s, with Moliere%u2019s witty observations of human vices intact, and lots of slapstick romantic entanglements for visual excitement.The main character, Argon, portrayed well by Steve Reicher, is a stubborn hypochondriac whose continuous weakness and intestinal catastrophies fade only when he is upset. The main cause of his furor is his daughter, Angelica, played by beautiful Gail Broussard. He wants to bring three doctors into the family by marrying her off to the nephew of his own physician, while she is already swimming in admiration for Cleante, a dashing young man she met at the opera one evening.Peri Muldofsky, who directed and adapted the play, employs the song %u201c Anything Goes%u201d as the sole reflection of the 1930%u2019s, using it once too often to bring the play to an thunderous fall at the very end. The set was very attractive, while the lighting suffered at times.I was refreshing to see such a variety of age in the actors, with little Louise, played by Judy Dulberg, to the aged Dr. Diaforus, played by Alex Iglesias, adding hilarious moments to Act II. The helplessly enamored lovers Angelica and Cleante, keep up a lovestruck gaze at one another that never fails to be entertaining. The high energy squabbling between Argon, and his conniving servant Toinette, (played magnificently by Sue Carbary) keeps the set in constant motion, as well as the actors themselves. At one point in Act I Toinette and Angelica are discussing men, and after Toinette concludes that men are untrustworthy %u2018actors%u2019 in romantic affairs she does have to admit %u201c I love a good actor%u201d . So do I, and for that very reason found this production rewarding.%u201cThe Imaginary Invalid%u201d will be presented December 7,8, 9,14 and 15th at 8pm, and Dec. 16 at 4pm, at Mission forToday, 298 Sixth Ave., off 2nd Street. Tickets, $3, $2 forchildren and seniors, group rates are available.
