Review:
Shrunken Heads, by M.Z. Ribalow, is a cute, cheery shot at farce with no reality as a shrink, his patient and family bring their conflicts to his country house.
Performances are quite good, full of jokes, verbal and physical, on an excellent set by Daniel Krause. In it course, the play mocks psychiatry, patients, marriages, New Age and youth, giving us some good laughs and a fun evening. A couple of martinis before the show would definitely add to the festivities.
