...runs through dramatic literature from Euripides to Ionesco- life is a dirty joke. But themes do not a playwright make. A grip on the dramatic imagination does, and Gold shows every sign of that. Born in Georgia, he has spent two summers at the Edward Albee Foundation at Montauk on Long Island, N.Y. It will not come as a surprise that Pat Hingle imbues his role with the warmest humanity As Monica, Deborah Offner impressively combines girlish fantasy with bride-of-death gravity. Michael Kahn's direction is a manual of professional devotion, and the McCarter has a small...
Rattiner broke into creative journalism at age 20 after his father fired him from a summer job at the family drugstore in Long Island's easternmost village, Montauk. His offense: serving seven-scoop sundaes. He quickly raised $3,100 from local merchants and launched the Montauk Pioneer, his first free-distribution summer weekly. Today Rattiner owns a local printing firm, an advertising agency, a messenger and delivery service, as well as the eight weeklies-all of which he runs from his three-story gray-shingled "Dan's Papers Publishing Tower" on Main Street, Bridgehampton...

Disappointed but not discouraged by the critical reception of his Mass, Bernstein was overwhelmed by the passionate response he felt it had stirred among the audience in general. On this and other...
...Cavetts' relationship allows for a kind of respectful distance. In town they see only a small number of friends at home and rarely go out together. Dick, who used to enjoy partygoing, now much prefers privacy and books. Carrie Nye will often spend a week alone at Montauk ("It's like taking your brain out of your head and laundering it"). Dick, too, will take a weekend there alone, wandering among the dunes. A friend calls it "tactful withdrawal." At the same time, both see a wry absurdity in the outward aspects of their marriage. Sometimes they play a talk...
