Travesties is a superb comedy, a work of thought and imagination.'' Stage and Television ''It is a champagne cocktail, compounded of a balletic nimbleness of invention, a bewildering intricacy of design which reaches the sublime heights where mathematics merge with poetry, and the audacious juggling of ideas of a master conjuror.''
