REVIEW: Pinkerton Comes to Prospect offers a trove of entertainment at the Lighthouse Festival

The play is a thoroughly entertaining and well-paced ride, and while it doesn’t reinvent the wheel in any way, it greases the axles of its wagon mighty well.

At the Lighthouse Festival, Jamie Williams’ new comedy pays homage to the family westerns of his childhood

For those wondering why the play’s title involves the name Pinkerton, not Penkerton, that’s a twist Williams said he didn’t want to spoil. Suffice it to say, a case of mistaken identity early on in the show leads to a spiral of comic consequences.
