"Bewitched" plus "Mad Men" equals "Bell Book and Candle" - At Hartford Stage







Go see "Bell Book and Candle" at Hartford Stage. This is a new production of the play that inspired the TV show "Bewitched" and it's a great show. I'm not a theater critic, but I can say that the set is great, perfectly evoking the 60's (henceforth known as the "Mad Men" decade), the acting is fantastic, and the dialogue is seductive and witty. You won't be disappointed. The show runs through April 29th in Hartford and is a co-production with Long Wharf Theater in New Haven, CT. Here is a review of the show by Frank Rizzo, the theater critic of the Hartford Courant:
