While at the start of the show the characters felt a bit stereotypical, as it progressed they became more well developed and endearing. The jokes also didn’t knock me out right away, but halfway through I was crying from laughter, especially during a point in the show involving an English cucumber and a character known as Mr. Dickman.
The Divorcees Club is a fun little play with a talented cast, especially Stephen Croce who plays Bridget. His onstage antics and over-the-top delivery had me cracking up at multiple points throughout the show, and the other two actresses (Kellie Cooper and Aileen Goldberg) were also very entertaining. While I wasn’t quite sure what to expect going in and the beginning of the play didn’t grab me like I expected, by the end I was laughing and smiling.
If you have a chance to see The Divorcees Club, I recommend you do so. It’s playing now through March 22 at Penn’s Landing Playhouse, and tickets can be bought here.
