“Moon Over Buffalo is a delightful homage to classic back-stage farce, and the audience is treated to theatrical wackiness as the Hays struggle to survive. The Providence Players of Fairfax production is filled with experienced and talented actors who make the most of the scene-stealing…parts that playwright Ken Ludwig has written. Michael Donahue, as George Hay, and Maria Watson, as his wife Charlotte, are both wonderful and seasoned actors.. The gags are…well-played here, and the audience loved seeing some of the more familiar ones coming. Mistaken identities, secret romances, former lovers, confusion with costumes are all wonderfully done, as we also enjoy sword fights, slamming doors, and hilariously ineffective efforts to sober up a drunken actor. The costumes by Christian D. Faulkner and set design by Jason Hamrick are both spot on. It is a wonderful comedy, riotously directed by Jayne Victor, who clearly loves the farce as much as Ludwig, and both director and playwright know what to do with it. It is well worth coming to see Providence Players’ Moon over Buffalo.” Chuck Leonard, DcMetroTheaterArts
