Pinero and Grunty’s Problem Play Fails to Impress at Hollis
Pinero’s The Benefit of the Doubt at the Hollis Theater draws mixed verdicts as a sharp satire on English society. Risle De Wolfe shines as the jealous wife, while William Faversham struggles as the weak husband in a production praised for some dialogue yet criticized for a shallow plot and weak finale.
