It is also a huge amount of fun. With an eye on the prospective audience in New York, director Phelim McDermott transported Mozart’s comedy to Coney Island. Against the backdrop of a Ferris wheel and a rollercoaster, the four young lovers mingle with acrobats and fire eaters, ride on the roundabout, snack at the hamburger stall and canoodle as they float about on giant swans (yes — sometimes the production goes too far). The sisters’ holiday villa on the Bay of Naples becomes a motel and there is a lot of door-slamming as the characters dash from room to room. Did McDermott see Michael Frayn’s Noises Off the night before?
