It would be hard to overpraise this cast. Durang writes one-acts with the intent more than one will be performed at a time, and that actors will double up on roles. But in Nightmare all actors besides the performer who tackles Spelvin must do three or four. So by the end of an evening of this, we've seen costume changes, accent changes, and completely varying mannerisms out of each of them. Mobtown has assembled an ensemble who do this without breaking a perceptible sweat. No doubt Director Caitlin Bouxsein has much to do with this breakneck display of competence.
You'll laugh all evening. Go.
