Guthrie is as much performer as pure musician: he talks as much as he sings. His shows have all the character of an evening on his porch, and most of his songs are interrupted in the middle by spoken anecdotes, speculations, or quandaries. Sometimes he stops playing just to talk out an idea. Guthrie's colloquial idiom and sense of aphoristic wisdom are, perhaps, of the Prairie Home Companion school, but his repertoire is not without the socially conscious ire of a draft-dodger.

...angle taken by this particular adaptation, the acting is first-rate. One does not tend to think of Ibsen as funny; this production favors a style of self-revelation that continually provokes laughter--and not a few hisses.

...ardor rarely seen since Lillian Gish and the other white roses of the silents. She goes pop-eyed with awe at her beau's manhood; every word she speaks is an open-mouthed kiss. She acts volcanically, as any heart does when it pumps with love. She is pure emotion, naked, shameless, unmediated by discretion. These aren't attitudes of passion; this is the genuine article, take it or leave it. Even with our quibbles, we'll take it, and embrace it as tenderly as Bess does the man whose happiness she'd die for. In its pagan fervor, this...
