Waiting in the Wings Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"...“Waiting in the Wings” doesn’t come around all that often. A late play of Noël Coward’s, it was considered outdated when it premiered in 1960. In Britain, the “angry young men” movement led by John Osborne in the theater was underway, and the social pretensions and expertly crafted witticisms of Coward’s comedies had fallen out of fashion."
Stage Scene LA- Highly Recommended
"...Dames don’t get any grander than the grandes dames taking centerstage at Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum in Waiting In The Wings, Noël Coward’s charming 1960 salute to actresses of a certain age who’ve still got it in them to hold an audience spellbound."
Stage Raw- Recommended
"...Substantial roles for older actresses have been in notoriously short supply for so long that Noël Coward built an entire play out of that scarcity with Waiting in the Wings in 1960. Among his more seriously intentioned works, Coward’s late-career comedy-drama profiles nine retired stage divas gathered under one charity-home roof, and makes each of them a character worth our acquaintance. That opportunity is rare enough on the scripted page — it’s rarer still to find a theatre company positioned to seize and run with it."
