MICHAEL MARTORANO, as Deeley, holds up well through the skirmishes of the first act, succumbing as Anna woos Kate just before the curtain. But he crumbles early in the second act, just after he has dealt Anna a setback in their battle of mutual degradation. Deeley's heavy emphasis on second meanings and his lumbering, wounded desperation rob his words, his weapons, of the strength they had held in the first act.

Buckley has indicated that these issues will be dealt with in greater depth in further amendments to be prepared by his office.

The problem of existence is a communal problem dealt with in a communal way. Everyone is expected to contribute in such tasks as chopping wood, carrying water, cleaning the houses, cooking, raising children, keeping warm. To the children, there is very little difference between one house and the next, one parent and the next; not because no one cares but rather because...
