Her face is transformed from a bedraggled chippie's to an incarnation of Hawthorne's Hilda. Then the devil snaps his fingers, house lights come up, and she awakens to rows of hooting, callous men delighting...

The 166 million people of the Common Market nations produce more steel than Soviet Russia, do more of the world...

Upbeat only in comparison to his other plays, Period nevertheless glows with several scenes of gentle, off-focus humor, as when the two men boozily dream of raising buffalo (a "dignified beast") to rent out to producers of TV westerns. And if the play was a surprise to Miami theatergoers (who may be the only ones to see it; Williams is still undecided about taking it to Broadway), in its own way it was a revelation...
