“Directed by Rex Daugherty, this laugh-a-minute comedy keeps the blunders rolling as the characters bungle about trying to keep world war III from exploding between two super-star queens. With an outrageously comical cast and some stellar set and costume designs this high-end farce is a hilarious adventure that will leave you begging for more.”
“a master’s class in how to construct a farce and make it work on stage...The comedy found on the page is wonderfully supplemented by the direction of Rex Daugherty. Every bit of comic business (e.g., the nearly falling vase of flowers, the body bouncing off the sofa, the door slamming into an unlucky bystander, the manipulated toy dog) felt fresh and well-timed”
“Farce is a difficult genre to pull off, as it calls for intense speed and precision, but with Rex Daugherty directing, this “Suite Surrender” races its way to a delightful, raucous conclusion.”
“The production’s rapid fire timing and physicality make Suite Surrender a show not to be missed.”
