...incidents with larger significance. These faults beset THE ROADS TO HOME, which opened off- Broadway last week under the author's direction. The cast of nine, an army on the tiny stage, seems thin and the story wan. But Emmy winner Jean Stapleton and the author's daughter Hallie glow as two Texas housewives, one full of repressed fury at a hollow marriage, the other retreating from reality into dark memories of her father's violent death...
