To Fool the Eye
by Jeffrey Hatcher, Jean Anouilh, Stephanie L. Debner

"Under Hatcher's pen, the tale keeps its French accent but crackles with the wit and charm of America's old 'screwball comedy' films…All is springtime and light inside the Guthrie Theater, where Hatcher's sunny look at an old play makes you want to drive home with the windows wide open…a happy contagion that spreads through the audience like a fresh breeze…Guthrie audiences haven't laughed as loud, as hard, or as consistently in years.“ —St. Paul Pioneer Press-Dispatch.   ”Hatcher's clever humor relies on ironic wit and a keen eye for poking fun at the absurdity of pompous arrogance…This flavor fills a script that clearly reflects Anouilh's themes of memory's aching beauty and the preference humans have for infatuation over real-life love. A delightful farce that intelligently wonders about the nature of love, artifice, the eye's perception rather than the heart's reality, and the delicate distortion of memory.“ —Minneapolis Star Tribune.   ”Delightfully frothy. Jeffrey Hatcher's adapta"
