★★★★☆ There’s something irresistibly charming about the idea of escaping modern life to live out the fantasy of the 1950s — A world of starched collars, freshly baked cakes, and the comforting sound of a cocktail shaker at five o’clock sharp.

★★★☆☆ The Lace Market Theatre has long been known for its high-quality productions, and their staging of Alys, Always is no exception.
