The art of love…
has not been forgotten in David Ives’ period-ish comedy about people who are nuts about poetry. Ives’ play, THE METROMANIANCS, written in rhyming couplets, is a delightfully uproarious romp into the high style of comic poetic verse.
As an ensemble, the entire cast of @TheatreForty ’s THE METROMANICS really puts on a first-rate show of bravado and language. #theater #theatre #review @giamedia3 #LADCC #comedy
