Mica Pollock '93 also tried to make an appointment when her eye began to burn for no reason. But nurses told her the next opening was several weeks later. They sent her away and told her to return if the pain increased...
...seems to be the season for savvy playwrights to slip. Neil Simon's musical adaptation of his The Goodbye Girl left out the good parts, David Hwang's Face Value closed in preview, and now Lanford Wilson (Talley's Folly, Burn This) has opened REDWOOD CURTAIN, a would-be poetic musing on ecology, Vietnam, capitalism and multicultural heritage.

Winthrop Drama Society's Burn This is well-acted, amusing, and interesting. But you will need all your powers of concentration to keep your mind off the audience's play-without-a-play...
