“Lovers and Other Strangers” at Somerset Valley Players

Critics had a hard time figuring out which of these four comedies about the superiority of women is the funniest. The first introduces a young man who starts to seduce a lady, only to have the tables turned on him. The second involves a married couple who can't figure out whose turn it is to commence love making. The third opens in a girl's apartment at 4 AM when her fiancé arrives to tell her he is a nervous wreck and can't go through with the wedding. She gently leads the way back to the wedding route. In the last, a couple who have fought for over thirty years try to save their son's marriage by confessing their own failings.
