Some people go to Yale to get an education, others to get t-shirts. Sarah Agnew and Steve Epp are getting big kudos.
The Twin Cities-based actors, former members of the now-defunct Theatre de la Jeune Lune, are stars in Constance Congdon's adaptation of Carlo Goldoni's "The Servant of Two Masters" at the Yale Repertory Theatre, where Agnew is making her debut.
A New York Times write-up calls the production, by fellow ex-Jeune Luner Christopher Bayes, "inspired." The reviewer raved that Epp, who last appeared at the Yale Rep in 1993 in "Children of Paradise," "manages to combine the cheerful hostility of Groucho Marx, the winsomeness of Tommy Smothers and the stupidity of Homer Simpson."
The reviewer added: "The laughter would be quite enough to propel "The Servant of Two Masters" onto a theater lover's must-see list. But then there's the magic." Read the rest here.
