“Absurd Person Singular” at Barrington Stage
Through August 29
It does not sound promising: a three-act (three-set) British comedy set in the dismal post-hippie, pre-Yuppie 1970s. But Barrington Stage Company has a knack for making the most of any play, and director Jesse Berger’s production of Alan Ayckbourn’s Absurd Person Singular is an amusing, lighthearted, carefree evening of theater. BSC favorite Christopher Innvar is especially fine as the groovy architect with a wandering eye, and Finnerty Steeves is impossibly funny as a women who is silently suicidal. And the divine Henny Russell is practically a one-woman show herself as the politely snobby, well-bred, well-dressed Marion.
