		<description><![CDATA[By Ray Pride &#8220;Hysteria,&#8221; in the description of Tanya Wexler, is a hybrid comedy, like Richard Curtis sneaking a vibrator into a Merchant-Ivory production &#8220;with maybe a little Jane Austen flair in the plotting, maybe, if we&#8217;re lucky.&#8221; Set in London 1880, &#8220;Hysteria&#8221; fashions a fanciful history of the invention of the electro-mechanical vibrator.

		<description><![CDATA[Push, push, push. Note there are no exclamation points. The three birth scenes that punctuate the last act of the lackluster “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” are anti-climactic. Five couples await a &#8220;miracle.&#8221; If you&#8217;re counting, there is one miscarriage and one adoption. The ensemble design of this so-called &#8220;kaleidoscopic comedy&#8221; with a ticking [...]]]></description>

Kathleen Turner is a dynamo lighting up Anne Renton&#8217;s &#8220;The Perfect Family,&#8221; a Catholic-oriented &#8220;let&#8217;s-put-on-a-show!&#8221;-scaled comedy of modest range. As a suburban mother who covets the local Catholic Woman of the Year plaque, Turner gives the material her all, even when the material is maddeningly shallow or internally contradictory. Conflict ensues [...]]]></description>
