In the past year this eclectic off-Broadway group has mounted a wryly tender A Taste of Honey, fired off an ebulliently witty Misalliance, weighed hypocrisy and humanity on the scales of The Browning Version, and now burnishes a high comedy of manners with Enid Bagnold's civilized, pitiless and elliptical The Chalk Garden...
