Thirty-one more characters, however, parade across the stage at various times. It is a tribute to Morton Da Costa's directing skill that they maneuver themselves so well. The sets, too, are a triumph. Peter Larkin's designs take the audience inside an airplane in mid-air--a really remarkable feat. All in all, No Time for Sergeants will amuse anyone who will ever have contact with military life, i.e., practically everybody...
...proves, in the final sense, a mixed blessing. In the fierce clash between Bryan and Darrow history supplies a more rousing scene than most dramatists could invent, and in Bryan's subsequent collapse a twist that few dramatists would dare to. And with the help of Peter Larkin's highly ingenious set, the play creates a graphic town picture of where once the embattled fundamentalist stood and started a ruckus heard 'round the world...

As in The Madwoman of Chaillot and The Trojan War will Not Take place, Giraudouz rejects a serious plane for the freedom of fantasy. Ondine is a splash of brilliant costumes (Richard Whorf) and imaginative sets (Peter Larkin). The appearance of such characters as three Loreli-type sprites and a walking replica of Venus de Milo break into the narrative to keep the lively pace...

The brandy business booms and little Tobiki thrives. A teahouse is built. This set, designed by Peter Larkin, is beautifully done, and drew opening-night applause. Larkin's other sets are fairly good. Particularly effective is his use of a bamboo curtain that is raised in sections like the sails of a junk...
