THE FOURSOME

Four old college chums, home for a fifteenth year reunion, hook up for a round of golf and share their successes and failures. In the end this isn't a comedy about golf. It's not even a comedy about men. No, The Foursome is a comedy about what time does to us all. It's about the way we move away from life's possibilities as the years tumble on. And it's about the way memory intervenes in the present to create a seductive euphoria about the past. In this production the hole-in-one-liners come fast and furious, with chuckles every few lines and a major guffaw a minute, much of the latter will issue from the women in the gallery. At first there's a lot of one-upmanship, posturing about how well each one has done,until the truths start to emerge, and you begin to realize that they're just ordinary guys and that they all have faults and failings. It really doesn't matter if you don't know a sand trap from a fairway, the Schoolhouse Theatre's new production, The Foursome -- about four guys playing 18 holes -- is hilarious. And yes, you'll get the golf jokes.
