Papp's vision of the play is a daring one; he has communicated some, but not all of it, to his cast. Martin Sheen, recently seen as one of the punks in The Incident (TIME, Nov. 10), brings to the title role an imaginative boisterousness not unlike his superior work in that film; Ralph Waite is a dashingly demagogic Claudius. Anita Dangler is a fluttery flibbertigibbet of a Gertrude, while April Shawhan is a sexy, miniskirted Ophelia.

He had survived the boredom of the phony war and a bomb in the Carlton Club that might have wiped out the Conservative Party. He dealt with such power...
...that he is virtually dragooned into acting as Big Daddy to all the others. Does the divorcee fear an old lover's return? Speak to her, John. Does Willy, the Dachau victim, seem about to go under in private gloom? Have a word with Willy, John. But the role of father-confessor plus Mr. Fixit is really a trial to him. He is having troubles of his own as he is trying to dodge an old mistress to devote his repressed, puritan self to the torturing game he plays with Kate. Author Murdoch knows her lovers through and through...
