...punks in The Incident (TIME, Nov. 10), brings to the title role an imaginative boisterousness not unlike his superior work in that film; Ralph Waite is a dashingly demagogic Claudius. Anita Dangler is a fluttery flibbertigibbet of a Gertrude, while April Shawhan is a sexy, miniskirted Ophelia. Gait MacDermot's pounding rock background seems at least as appropriate to this version of the play as the gentle pleasing of a lute might have been in a 17th century production.

...their work took form, the coauthors disputed over its content. Ten years passed. In 1938, at a final meeting in London, they reached agreement, but out of compassion decided to defer publication until the death of Wlison's second wife, Edith Gait. She died five years ago, and the book-presumably unrevised since 1938-has now been released...
