San Francisco Bay Area Theater Reviews

“Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike”

June 14, 2016 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
Christopher Durang
Palo Alto Players
Patricia Tyler, Walter M. Mayes, Judith Miller & Jimmy Mason
The 2013 Tony winner for Best Play, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, has been produced coast-to-coast and now lands on the stage of Palo Alto Players as the final installation of the company’s 85th Anniversary, “Toniest Season Ever.”  With superb, imaginative, tongue-in-cheek direction by Linda Piccone and a cast of weird and wacky characters, the season’s bowing production is definitely a hit not to be missed.
