Baby With the Bathwater
Brooks Theatre
217 North Coast Highway Oceanside
A "Tiger Mom" she's not: The unprepared mother in Baby With the Bathwater starts off with a less-than-ambitious plan for her offspring -- "I just don't want to make the child insane, that's all." She fails, of course. But her failure (shared with her equally unready husband and a nanny that might be the Anti-Poppins) is one of the greatest successes of playwright Christopher Durang -- no small achievement, considering that his Tony-winning Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike and Obie-winning Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You are classics of stage comedy. Farce, satire, the absurd -- Durang incorporates every kind of funny into Baby With the Bathwater, all without losing the heart of this story about a young man struggling to find his place. See this zesty new production now at Brooks Theatre in Oceanside.
