Darkness at Noon (adapted by Sidney Kingsley from Arthur Koestler's novel; produced by the Playwrights' Company) dramatizes, on the whole, very well. Not only does much of it prove dramatic on the stage, but the drama has been bought at a sense-making price.

With his querulous aquiline profile and his tonsure-like ring of hair, 53-year-old Kingsley Martin well fits his role as omniscient dissenter and belligerent pacifist. His sense of martyrdom is irritating and sincere, once prompted the remark: "If you see someone who looks as if he is on his way to Clarkson's [a theatrical wigmaker...
