...DONALD BLOCH'S play, which opened last night at selected locations around the Eliot House dining hall, has absolutely no exposition, begins in fact with a vow to ignore the past and sticks by it. The future is another quantity ignored, and the play between turns out in consequence to be, among other things, smartly constructed.

Equally significant is Mr. Bloch's decision to emphasize the inherent humor of line and situation, and to use a liberal hand in devising comic business. Although occasionally subtle antics which animate the human background throughout the evening distract from more important actions, the general effect is one of rich detail, and this must...
