Love can make a woman do strange things. Like lie about her past. Or give up her career for the man she loves. Or throw off her princessly raiment and disguise herself as a young man in order to infiltrate the guarded “men-only” palace compound of an exiled prince she’s admired from afar, who is secretly plotting to murder her and usurp her throne. Such is the state of things in James Magruder, Jeffrey Stock and Susan Birkenhead’s hilarious, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic adaptation of the classic Marivaux comedy “Triumph Of Love.” “Triumph Of Love” finds a parallel for the conventions of 18th century French comedy in the witty repartee, sexy comedy, inspired buffoonery and tender poignancy of this charming small-cast chamber musical. As well as making it extremely flexible in its performance space, set and costume demands, with its emphasis on character and situation rather than production values, “Triumph Of Love” is an excellent showcase for comic actors.
