Reading Joseph Heller’s World War 2 novel Catch-22 many years ago proved to be, for this reviewer, an indelible experience. The first 100 pages or so are incredibly funny, but taking the book as a whole it is really a sad story. How does this production deal with such a complex of characters and situations? It measures up very well. Scene after scene unfolds naturally. Numerous characters are brought to life  – Major Major, General Cathcart, the Chaplain et.al., and there is a structure to the whole piece. Special praise should go to Thomas Eyre-Maunsell for his portrayal of Yossarian as the confused and basically decent individual caught up in a maelstrom of madness. This version of Catch-22 is a fast moving production and a successful adaptation. ****
