unfussily

adv

Etymology: From unfussy + -ly.

1. In an unfussy way; without fuss.

   “While this production, starring a softly radiant Kate Burton as the mercurial Madame Ranevskaya, does place a subtle emphasis on the tragedy in her past — the death of her young son some five years before the play begins — the teddy bear was a bit of a red herring, as it were. Mr. Martin’s “Cherry Orchard,” presented in a clean new adaptation by the playwright Richard Nelson, is brisk, unfussily funny and steeped in just enough emotion to give it a gloss of tender feeling without drowning it in teardrops.”
