...Moonchildren tries to take on too much--anti-war demonstrations, the "generation gap," cohabitation: Weller can't organize the bits and pieces of these students' lives into a coherent whole. His play's major flaw is the schism between the student world and the adult world; an assortment of "real" people enter and exit, but their collective intrusion is distracting rather than dramatic...
