Review: Teatro's On the Banks of the Nut a delightfully funny farce
Article content
Directed by Lemoine and starring a sparkling and energetic cast of five, On the Banks of the Nut takes a detailed look at the issue of talent — how to define it, how to nurture it, and what to do when it lands with a plunk in your lap. As the two-hour production (including intermission) opens, a spirited secretary named Norine Cuthbert (Bella King) from the temp agency Inkwell has arrived at the office of Pinkerton Sprague (Sam Free in his Teatro debut). She's not sure what the job will involve, and neither is her boss, the newly installed and determinedly hapless federal talent agent in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The two put their well-coiffed heads together to come up with a plan of action and are soon on their way to a country inn alongside the Nut River in search of someone with a rare talent for who-knows-what.
