Readers' rating: Unrated Reader reviews: Write a review As Beverly, the title character of Adam Bock's increasingly nefarious office comedy, a pitch-perfect Megan Mullally is front and center and eager to put you through to voice mail. The play seems at first like a tediously protracted skit on the time-wasting rituals and inane coworker banter of corporate life in America. But there's a darker and more topical point to this slow-drip dramatization, handled with patience and a fair amount of precision by director Bart DeLorenzo, that goes beyond white-collar mockery. Harrowing.
