Siebert and his real-life and on-stage wife “Rose” (Terry Heck) are, appropriately, both annoying and charming as they portray a couple we can identify with — ably aided by MSU actors Katie Noyes as the Siren (also as Leah and the Waitress) and Mark Schenfisch as Rose’s long-lost-found boyfriend.
The set is simple and versatile (Matthew Imhoff) with lighting (Shannon T. Schweitzer) seamlessly transporting us from travel agent’s office to ship, to ocean to island, to restaurant.
Tony Caselli directs this parable of midlife crisis with warmth and a lighthearted touch combining “the fantastical and the mundane.” It is short (about an hour and 20 minutes, no intermission) and will give you something to laugh about at the theatre and talk about on the way home.
