As Ned ("Scooter") Ryan, Dzundza viscerally endows the prosecuting attorney with the instincts of a fox in a hen coop. Always grave and commanding in presence, Earle Hyman has to wait to the end of the play to deliver the doctor's passion ate plea for the right of a woman to terminate her own pregnancy...
