...could. Several of the roles, however, just don't belong in this play. As the two witches, Bonnie Zimmering and Crystal Terry are lithe and successful dancers, but after two or three appearances and calls of "you'll be sorry," we are too. David Moore, who doubles as Preacher Haggler and Conjur Man, is unoriginal as, respectively, the stereotyped holy-roller and evil wizard. He is stock in his mannerisms and gestures, unseasoned on the stage. While Laura Rogerson and Ralph Zito shine in minor roles, John Smith as the hulking, rassling Marvin Hudgens is as shallow as one would...
When negotiating business deals himself, Hughes, who had the reputation of being the world's greatest procrastinator and nitpicker, continued to be an exasperating haggler. Always trying to squeeze out a better deal, he refused to be moved by deadlines or ultimatums imposed by the other side. A favorite Hughes rebuttal: "I will not negotiate with a gun at my head...

Arthur Roberts competently plays Marvin Hudgens, who lusts after Barbara Allen, and Sarah Leary and Rosalind Miller are two of the sexiest, most fetching little witches you could ever hope...
...dresses like a color-blind D.P. from Dogpatch. She claims to comb her scraggle-cropped, copper-colored hair with an eggbeater, but in fact usually attacks it only with her fingers. Her income has grown to six figures, but she haunts bargain counters, a born haggler. She handles her car like a hopped-up hot-rodder, laces into the Los Angeles freeway competition with the voice and free-wheeling vocabulary of a longshoreman...
