Like fellow cartoonists Jules Feiffer and Garry Trudeau, William Hamilton of the New Yorker plainly reckons that an eye for the absurdities of character and an ear for dialogue make him a playwright. But unlike those colleagues, he seems not to have grasped the basic dramatic principle that showing is better than telling. In his INTERIOR DECORATION, at San Diego's Old Globe Theater, a woman executive senses her biological clock ticking and fancies an even fancier executive as a sperm donor, but no more.
