Plays in which the actors have accents don't bother me--after all the rest of the cast, who were all Scottish were perectly comprehensible. I've seen a number of Irish plays in NY and again, the actors were perfectly understandable. This was NOT the case with the actress who played Lucy. I was not the only person who complained in the audience.
This is a play meant for a mass audience--the lucky thing is that it barely matters what she says because the overall action is so much fun. I'm sure the kids in the audience understood her even less than I did but for them again, it didn't matter as much because they were entranced by everything else (as I was).
