Exploring (NBC, 12:30-1:30 p.m.). The program includes a reading of Casey at the Bat and an explanation of why a baseball curves when thrown. Color...
Perhaps Abbott picked the wrong play, or at least the wrong author: O'Casey's prickly-pear mixture of the gay and the grim, the heartless and the sentimental is often awkward enough.

The cost of putting on a play has rocketed. In 1953, a revival of Sean O'Casey's The Plough and the Stars was staged for $400. Today, it could not be duplicated for much less than $15,000, the current average production cost...
