“Rorschach Theatre is making a vigorous case for Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer-winning 1942 play in a visually astute, sneakily immediate production at Georgetown University. It’s as if director Rahaleh Nassri and her cast see no difficulties, only opportunities as the ramshackle story grapples with the never-ending plight of mankind. They’ve blown the dust off this one.

McCormick portrays the father figure with a self-assurance and swagger. Whether he’s right, wrong, just, unfair, sporting Spitzer-like arrogance, or humble-pie humility, McCormick carries it all and is exciting to watch.
Wyckham Avery as his Edith Bunker-like wife seems to acquiesce, twisting and turning to his every whim, but shows glimmers of reinforced steely strength when you least expect it-one can only pity the fool who dares to mess with her family.

Guadamuz, who gets the first act’s over-the-top tone just right and adjusts with subtlety when his character is awarded more dimensions as the show goes on.
