Romantic confusion provides the basis for much of the humor here, as everyone races around in a sexual frenzy or sits paralyzed by anxiety and fears of inadequacy. Character quirks, brought out by the mismatching of Jone Ferrar and Mia Farrow, who play a prompous professor and a flirtatious free-thinker, respectively, offer occasional giggles.

Part of the trouble is in the writing and part in the playing. For a boy-meets-girl play to exercise its potential magic, there must be beguiling charm and a contagious affection.
