...Randy Darwell's set that makes the play even before the first note of the prelude--the Beatles' "Penny Lane"--is sounded. The floor, whose dullest color is a flaming chartreuse, said "festival" right off. Near a balcony projects a lovely pole, with feathers atop, that the actors use for quick descents. The rest is a complicated arrangement of stairs and levels over which the cast runs riot...
