60. "The Madras House" by Harley Granville Barker

The Mint Theater Company is one of the few off-Broadway houses that consistently presents excellent productions. And the artistic director Jonathan Bank has made a name for the small company by dusting off forgotten plays —some of them gems — that deserve more time in the sun. Unfortunately, "The Madras House" isn't a gem, but this sizeable cast gives it a nice polish. The four acts all seem like separate plays that have loose ties binding them into one packaged evening. But at three hours, it feels a bit tedious. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Some highlights: Roberta Maxwell's breakdown in Act IV, and a passing reference to Trenchard Voysey. And why does George Morfogen always seem like the walking dead in everything he does?
