Description
A witty and sophisticated comedy which had enjoyed considerable success in the theatre, to the point of outstripping a Neil Simon comedy at the same theatre, in terms of both ticket sales and length of run. The Unreasonable Act of Julian Waterman is, however, an extremely difficult play to do. In order for it to succeed, it requires three important elements: split-second timing, acting of the highest professional caliber, and a director with a firm hand.
