Washington Post - Recommended

"...This kind of comedy can easily grow pushy or frantic, but Wilson is smooth and charming, especially when he parries with the unpredictable audience. (You get the feeling he sizes up everyone mere seconds after entering the room.) His initial “clown” character is largely silent, though he’s delightfully communicative. It’s only when he puts on the masks that the voices come out."

Billed as “1 actor. 12 characters.1000 catastrophes,” you will take in more people and plots than your table groaned Thanksgiving dishes, and besides, Wilson packs more wallop in this have-masks-will-travel show than theatres with ten times the stage dressings and budget.
