American Theatre, February, 2005 by Estvanik, Nicole
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE, AND THAT'S where it stays in Yes. No. (Maybe So...), a new adaptation of Luigi Pirandello that runs through Feb. 20 at Milwaukee Repertory Theater. The town gossips are vibrating over the unusual living situation of a trio of newcomers--Signor Ponza and his reclusive wife, who share an apartment, and the signor's mother-in-law, Signora Frola, who is maintained by Ponza in a separate residence and kept from seeing her daughter. Or is she her daughter? Ponza and Frola give contradictory explanations, each claiming to protect the other from madness. The neighbors vow to get to the bottom of things, but they find to their unease that truth is a bottomless concept.
