...several notches bellow the quality of the material), but after "Chinatown," maybe she deserves another chance. Christopher Plummer co-stars in this Arthur Miller play. (After typing all this, I just realized the show will only appear on Providence, R.I. television. Visit a friend at Brown or tie a kite to your antenna. Or just forget the whole thing.) Ch. 10, 8:30 p.m. 2 1/2 hours...
...power of contemporary sculpture colossi." Mitigate is scarcely the word. The landscape sometimes annihilates the sculpture.

TONIGHT FECHTOR will give an hour-and-a-half one-man performance on the Loeb mainstage. The program includes pieces such as Tug of War, Suicide, The Piano Mover, The Kite, The Room and The Creation of the World. ("In my particular version of the creation of the world, I play God," says Fechtor.) Some of the pieces have plots, but Fechtor prefers to stress style. "Technical aspects are more important to me than showmanship aspects," he says. "People who come expecting to compare my show to Marceau's are going to be rather disappointed."
