I have family coming to visit me in orange County next week. Can anyone tell me of a good play either here or in L.A. that I could take them to?

Anyone read or see Rattigan's French Without Tears? Just discovered it and the play is positively delightful. A light comedy with a heavy subtext. I laughed aloud on every page and almost cried when I thought about it later.

Why did Rattigan disappear? He said he couldn't co-exist in the theatre with the angry young men, and I guess he was right.

Is it about time for a rebirth of form and wit and substance?
