These three short plays--the first two by Peter Shaffer of Equus fame, the third a Woody Allen quickie--will open at the Currier Fish-bowl this weekend. The first two are treatments of the old romantic triangle plot from two different angles--one witty and sophisticated, the other serious. The Kugelmass Episode is Woody Allen's tale of a CCNY professor who finds himself transported to the world of Madame Bovary. Go see it if you want to find...
