...decision was splendid. The dominating color, or noncolor, of the film is white. This creates the proper sensation of wintry old age and bleakness. The film gives off an almost palpable and desolating coldness, as if one were witnessing snow on the craters of the moon. But the defect of that virtue surfaces at the fulcrum of the play, which is the vast raging storm on the heath. The lashing rain seems incongruous in such an icy climate, and no one's thoughts should be remotely physical at that moment. Shakespeare has carried us to the butt...

Unless an infant born with the defect is quickly placed on a milk-free diet, he faces malnutrition, mental retardation and even death...
...Some of the encounters and adventures are wildly hilarious; others are mutely poignant. The play's weakness lies in McNally's tendency to write by free association. Whatever pops into his head, he pops into the play. But the author of Next and Noon is correcting this defect with each succeeding work. At 31, he looks like one of the best bets among up-and-coming U.S. playwrights...
