...Konrad E. Bloch, Higgins Professor of Biochemistry and chairman of the committee, said yesterday if the Faculty decides to adopt the measure, it will have to do so before Christmas to allow the University time to adjust its schedule to the change...
...ignores the spoken script, however, the movement of and non-verbal sounds issuing from the actors are fascinating. Director Kerry Konrad has blocked the episodes gracefully, and the crew of bodies (for they are more symbols than individuals) performs with relish and coordination. The multi-headed snake projects a refreshing sense of comic glee while outwitting Eve. Transitions between scenes pose bemusing riddles as the limp, floored torsos of the actors ease into new being.

In extending the earlier findings of the ethologists, whose ideas a generation ago became popular with Konrad Lorenz, the sociobiologists assert that despite man's centuries-long effort to insist that he is distinctively different from his fellow animals, one proper study of mankind is beast...

But in the second act, where the skits are fewer and the acting more demanding, everything comes together, culminating in James Doherty's painfully schizo portrayal of Walter Mitty...
