Review: The Shoplifters

The Shoplifters, by Morris Panych, produced by 1812 Productions, reviewed by Wendy Rosenfield.

There are hints at what lies beneath, but unfortunately, we never quite get there. Maybe it's enough to sit back and laugh at this quartet of semi-sad-sacks, sticky cogs in an all-seeing, vacuum-packing, flash-freezing machine. One certainly can, and this production makes it easy. It just seems to me that these particular contents were placed in the wrong package.

Through Sept. 20. Arcadia Stage at Arden Theatre Company, 40 N. 2d St. Tickets: $28 to $42. Information: 215-592-9560 or www.1812Productions.org.
