...cover story [April 15] was not about us. And if it was not about us -the city's total population less 200 or so 20th Century-Fox playmates-it was not about London.

David Warner's Hamlet is popular not because some jet-set clique has deemed it "In," but because Peter Hall has concentrated on the aspects of the play most meaningful for the 20th century (as distinct from 20th Century-Fox).

Thanks to its three-man, two-woman cast, the show is funnier than its material, which takes its style from the sappy smile of Alfred E. Neuman, Mad magazine's trademark moron. The actors do versatile impersonations of the specialized zany-the hi-fi nut, the folksong nut, the technician nut whose means totally dwarf his ends. One of the funniest skits in the show features a TV sportscaster team that, with superb professional aplomb, misses the kickoff, the touchdown play, and even the score of a championship game, while cutting to "our man on the field," interviewing...
