The Good Old Days

Revival is the word on B’way this month

Victor Garber, as the Noel Coward manqué Garry Essendine in Coward’s Present Laughter, is giving exactly the performance one imagined when his casting was announced last summer. Which is not to say that his sparkling performance is a bad one, just unsurprising. The element of suspense is instead focused on Brooks Ashmanskas as a deranged “young” playwright (the script says 25; Ashmanskas&rsqu...
