Confirmed Bachelor is a two-handed farce of the highest order, the kind of whip-smart comedy that would give Jack Tripper whiplash, as you move from schemes to assumed identities to mistaken identities to confusion about one’s identity. The arc of Gabriel and Eliza is a jolly bit of fun, in this play from writer/performers Clayton James-Plamondon and Erin Leflar.

What we have here is a deft comedy of manners, in which “confirmed bachelor” Gabriel Ringley‘s father is trying to have him married off to an eligible bachelorette (he really wants none of it), whereas Eliza Bates’s aunt is trying to help her convince Gabriel that Eliza’s the one for him.
