The award-winning Mint Theater Company has another first class show, Far And Wide, Jonathan Bank's adaptation and direction of Arthur Schnitzler's Das Weite Land. While the entire cast is quite good, leads Hans Tester and Lisa Bostnar are Broadway- level performers, and the show, which is about fidelity, infidelity, and moofky-foofky among the married and unmarried eighty years ago, sparkles with energy and life during all of their encounters. Ms. Bostnar is an actress capable of leads in Ibsen, Shakespeare, Miller, Williams and Albee. Her inner and outer beauty, the nuances of her performance, the subtlety and strength she gives her interpretation, are no less than thrilling -- she is a rare talent who deserves to be a major star. With the strength of Tester as balance, it's a show not to be missed.
