Theater review: 'Someone to Watch Over Me' works as humorous political fantasy

Constitutional scholars may trip over a plot point or two, but the idealism and frisky humor in "Someone to Watch Over Me" could infect even them. Playwright/director Kevin Finkelstein's title refers neither to a Big Brother state spying on its citizens nor to the old Gershwin tune. Rather, his hour-long comic fantasy imagines that an ordinary person can launch a governmental reform movement and avoid partisan politics.
