Absurd Person Singular — Theatre Review
Here’s the beginning of a review I did for The Charlebois Post of a new play at the Rialto Theatre, which is being 
renovated to its original glory:
Absurd Person Singular, Alan Ayckbourn’s play about English manners directed by Corey Castle, is a really good laugh, and I have the numbers to prove it. In the seventies’ Broadway production, 374 chuckles, 125 belly laughs, and five “roll-em in the aisles,” were counted, for a total of 504 laughs. I didn’t count the laughs in last night’s show, but those numbers sound pretty close. We laughed not only because Ayckbourn’s lines are decidedly funny, but because the actors did such a splendid job of embodying characters who struggle to keep their public mask on while events conspire to show their true, private faces.
