Past Tense is a chameleon play that depends very much on the coloration added by the principals. Those who saw George Grizzard and Barbara Baxley perform the drama in its U.S. premiere at the Hartford Stage Company in 1977, under the direction of Paul Weidner, will be hard put to it to recognize the version that skitters across the stage of Manhattan's Circle in the Square...

He tells of two antagonistic small-time ranchers, a tomboy spinster (Fonda) and a good-natured World War II veteran (Caan), who reluctantly pool their resources to battle a takeover by an expansionist landowner (Robards). The villain, meanwhile, has problems of his own-an oil-company executive (George Grizzard) wants to plunder the cattle fields for crude. It is not difficult to guess what follows. Like every other so-called modern western, this one features a trusty old ranch hand (nicely played by Rich ard Farnsworth) who dies to symbolize the passing of the Old West. Like every...
