"Small World" - Review by Jeffrey Liebham
***RECOMMENDED*** There is no death at Disney – at least not at any of their family-friendly amusement parks. If someone visiting Disney World should fall gravely ill or suffer a life-threatening emergency and meets the Grim Reaper instead of Snow White, the body is removed and is not officially pronounced dead until after it has physically left the property. They don’t want the pall of death to ruin the magic. Whether or not that’s actually true or just the product of the vivid imagination of playwrights Jillian Leff and Joe Lino, who share many insightful tidbits about the rules and regulations of working at the happiest place on earth, doesn’t really matter because their play “Small World” is such a thrilling joy ride to experience. This world premiere, presented by The New Colony and under the direction of Andrew Hobgood, is a darkly funny triumph. 3 and ½ SPOTLIGHTS
