Los Angeles Times - Not Recommended

"...Under Heather Chesley's indulgent direction, every cast member has brought some elaborate affectation to his or her role. And when they're not shuffling, bending, babbling, preening, smirking, pouting or gasping, they're ostentatiously "reacting" to those around them with rolling eyes, mischievous glances, titters and harrumphs. There's so much sustained, occasionally funny but often tedious shtick that the arrival of the hack poet Trissotin (Stephen Van Dorn, who would shine in a less resolutely scene-stealing cast) - seems almost beside the point."

"...This show soars on delightful cast performances, but it also boasts complementary production elements."

"...In the American tradition, or one of them, the plays are treated in arch, artificial fashion, larded with shtick. Here director Heather Chesley has chosen the latter approach, using it with skill and elegance, and the opening-night audience couldn't have been more pleased."

"...Actor's Co-op stages Moliere's The Learned Ladies (Les Femmes Savantes) with such panache, you'd think they'd been doing the French master on at least a yearly basis rather than a mere twice in seventeen years."

"...In short, the play is very enjoyable."
