...route to the CRIMSON from the Agassiz Theater opening of White Sale, Timothy Mayer's second original contribution to this year's Cambridge drama season, your recalcitrant reviewer paused a moment in Brattle Square. He has for some time been convinced that there is no shortest path between these two points, that Brattle Square, and perhaps most of the corner we occupy in south-west Cambridge, are located smack in the heart of what science-fiction writers used lovingly to term a "time warp." Four years of this town, of predictable variety and commonplace brilliance, can do that...
Anyone following preparations for White Sale expected several things. The show could be depended upon to prove moving, disturbing, and funny, to weld gaiety to bitterness as easily as it moved from song to spoken word.

These actors, who both take parts in individual sequences and retain strong...
...Mayer's stagings share space in Howard Cutler's handsome, structural set with four impressive short films by Tim Hunter, a brief slide sequence by David McClelland, and some fascinating footage taken by a recent American traveller to Hanoi. For once, mixed media is something more than convenient compromise. On this catholic stage, it does not seem improbable that Nathan Pusey and Che Guevara should meet to discuss the role of youth and the values of revolution, and in fact, in a dialogue excerpted from their writings, the two gentlemen seem occasionally to agree uncomfortably well...
