...collection of do's and don'ts, 7 ft. thick if stacked together and packed with dizzying minutiae. Six pages of regulations deal with wooden ladders. Sample: "Knots, if tight and sound and less than one half inch in diameter, are permitted ... provided they are not more frequent than 1 to any 3 feet of ladder length...
...main parts call for frequent changes in character; unfortunately, these changes have to be absolutely clear-cut if the play is to make sense, and very few of them are. Jeffrey Harper's Perry is an overly blustery old man, and an overly vapid young one. Jill Clayton is even less believable in her role of the understanding mother and repressed woman.

...seems that Mr. Essendine frequently plays host to young women who have "lost their latchkeys" and are more than willing to lose their maidenhood too. Garry's activities are a constant source of bemusement for his poised, careerminded wife Liz (from whom he is amicably separated), and his acerbic but tolerant secretary Monica. They treat him as a hopeless child who needs frequent scolding, and many of their best lines are directed...
