Born Yesterday (MTC)

Fun start to the season - 1940s/50s wheelings and dealings, romance, screwball comedy and some darker edges including Trumpian resonance. Russell Dykstra (known to me as 'the solicitor from Rake') good as the bullying junk yard millionaire who comes to Washington looking to remove pesky legal obstacles to his none too scrupulous business dealings and so too Christie Whelan Brown as his 'dumb' blonde companion whose coming into her own drives much of the action of the play.
