...marriage. She is always nagging; he drinks, wenches and poaches. Out of this ill wedding, the genius of Western dramatic literature emerges-but one would never know how from William Gibson's meandering fustian. Anne Bancroft does not help the play with her Bronx housewife intonations, but Frank Langella speaks a convincing pseudo-Elizabethan line and conveys the anguish of a young man torn between his responsibilities...

Sounding very much like a quarterback caught in his own end zone, NBC President Julian Goodman said lamely: "It was a forgivable error committed by humans who were concerned about children expecting...
