The PiPress is equally laudatory: The production, packed onto Penumbra’s compact stage in its Selby-Dale theater, shows the company working in its wheelhouse and to its strength. The ensemble, under the direction of Lou Bellamy, is in clarion voice, moving confidently through the three-plus hours with utter confidence in the humor, the rhythm and the music of its favorite playwright.
