Martin Mull's summer hit was "Dueling Tubas." My summer next-door neighbor, an astoundingly jaded 15-year-old, called him "the new Tom Lehrer." I guess that means he's funny. At $4.50 to $6.50 a ticket, I will continue to guess...
...show," Baker says. "In the fifties scene I'm the kind of chubby kid who was always dancing around smiling and laughing and having a good time. It's the same as I've always been except my hair's greased back. In a way I guess I put off good vibes--like the guy on the Ozzie and Harriet show who was in the fraternity with David and Ricky.

The five actors speak various announcements--"Follow me--unobtrusively," or "Presumably the train will arrive a few minutes late," or whatever else struck Handke's fancy--and then the other actors say "No," with an impressive variety of gestures and expressions. The company is good in this play too, but the gestures and expressions aren't enough. Not even the ending, in which all the actors yell for help and then say "Yes," is enough...
