...Flesh & the Spirit. Between carcassing on the cots and caucusing in the corridors, the civil rights coalition ended up the first week's filibuster with baggy eyes and saggy spirits. Purred rumpled Ev Dirksen: "The flesh rides herd on the spirit. Soon I must lie down and let Morpheus embrace...
Many Swedes, wrote Playwright Hjalmar Söderberg, are torn between "the desire of the flesh and the eternal loneliness of the soul," between short, delirious summers and interminable bitter winters of deep-country solitude. But Bergman's sense of inner division is so strong that once (or so he claims) he walked into a room, saw a standing figure, realized with terror that the figure was himself, his Doppelgaenger.

The thought of such a show, however alluring, must cause qualms: Can a world, neither flesh, fish nor fowl and at the same time quite palpably all three, remain vaultingly alive within theater walls, seem superbly demented in three sober dimensions? It turns out that to a notable degree, it can. For one thing, there is much of Thurber that snugly fits a kind of intimate revue. The Unicorn in the Garden and If Grant Had Been...
