“Rumors”

Neil Simon

With a cast whose tongues are fully in cheek, slapstick skills are sharply honed, and mission is to milk every laugh possible from the ninety-minute script, Hillbarn Theatre stages an entertaining Rumors.  Touting little social, redeeming value other than to produce much laughter from increasingly silly misunderstandings and maladies, Rumors is the kind of diversion current audiences may find particularly welcome, given the not-so-funny, daily headlines from Washington, D.C.
