Tongue and Groove Theatre revives an odd little show that's truly dreamy

The romance field, Margraet Moser writes, is unique in its symbiosis: Most writers come from the ranks of readers and therefore understand the marriage of reader and book. The sisterhood and moral support in this almost exclusively female dominion is palpable. It is also gratifying and empowering and, in a few cases, exceedingly lucrative.

Eggheads pays fond tribute to the cinematic screwball comedies of the 1930s, and though the specific style of those comedies was old decades before the actors in Tongue and Groove Theatre's production were born, they breezed through it, cracking wise and slinging slang, as nimbly as Busby Berkeley chorines tapping down 42nd Street.
