...been brainwashed, programmed like a computer, the distraught father Allan (John McMartin) hires a deprogrammer to restore Shelley to his precult self. The duel of wits, will and passion between the boy and the deprogrammer, Balthazar (Anthony Zerbe), forms the core of this eruptively theatrical play. Echoes of Equus resound-of the boy who blinded horses he took to be gods, of the psychiatrist who cured...

The pitch: a swing. it's a hit, not a crackling liner that sends the second baseman diving. But rather a dainty dribbler that leaves the third baseman stymied in her shoes as the softball slowly scoots along the third base line and comes...
