Most delightful of all is the quaint, marvelously painted village set, designed by Bill Buckingham. The stage itself is slightly small for the size of the cast, but at least it reminds you of Lowell House. As if one could ever forget. The spirit of the notorious Lowell House Christmas plays is ever-present, and ayone who wants to read sex into the lines will have exceptionally meaty material ("You are round and ample/Let Leander have a sample").

Falling asleep again, as he must do every night, no matter how he postpones it, Senior dreams of his typist, a nimble lass who will probably leave out a paragraph or forget the carbon. Or, worst of all, he tosses with the dream of the Great Confrontation, the dream where he passes through life talking to friends, making love, delivering speeches, always searching in vain for the appropriate quote from his intensive study of the complete works of Hamlin Garland...
