Their music was pure "bluegrass," with Lester Flatt fingerin' away on the guitar and Earl Scruggs handling the five-string banjo. For 21 years they toured the country-music circuit, had their own radio show, and were rediscovered by pop America for their background music that was very much in the foreground of Bonnie and Clyde. Now Flatt, 54, and Scruggs, 45, have announced they are breaking up the act. Just why, they would not say.

The play, if it is to qualify as drama, ought to tingle with the anguish of a man torn between his country and his conscience. Instead, it is misted over with sadness - as of a man or woman deeply drawn to two equal loves, who must, in the nature of things, lose...
