A Feydeau farce re-imagined in a mental ward. Leave any expectations of conventional theater at home. Billed as half farce and half romance, THE ART ROOM is a relentlessly wicked little comedy by Billy Aronson. Aronson’s script tosses the audience into the lives of four mental-ward patients, along with the nurse who cares for them and the husband of the newest arrival. All of the patients seem to have multiple personalities upon which to draw. And when added in with the nurse’s double life, the husband’s philandering, a stage full of doors, and the occasional lice check, things certainly become - in a word - crazy. The craziness has a tenderness to it, which makes a lot of the twitches, outbursts, and mistaken identities enjoyable. -Gina Perille, Boston Globe
