David Timberline

How do you avoid talking about a dreadful show? You invite on a delightful guest! The so-called comedy, "Never Too Late," was a play that ran for an unbelievable 1,007 performances back in the early 1960s, remarkable given the lack of any discernible jokes. My pal, Jesse Rabinowitz, Ph.D., who has forgotten more about old movies than I will ever know, takes what could have been a relentless bashing of this show and expands it into a broader consideration of the evolution of comedy. It's a fast and fun discussion you don't need to be a theater fan to enjoy.
