The thinning, however, doesn't diminish either the exuberance of Frayn's best linguistic volleys or the sparkle of Forsman's production, catching the play's tempo and tone with eager acuteness. Reed and Connell, at the center of the maelstrom, shine with special brilliance. The one false note, surely as much Forsman's fault as the performer's, is Weston's rendering of the implacable assistant, all downturned mouth and screechy-voiced negativity, making it hard to believe the bright-eyed folk around her would take her seriously for one second.
