...push a point too far would be a mistake. However, other plays being produced this season do fit (at least as well as any other would) into my scheme. Kirkland House is dong The Fantastiks, that longest running of musicals where the characters, a boy and girl who live next door, look far and wide for love only to conclude that there's no place like home. Lowell will probably be producing A Thousand Clowns, that irrepressible story about a non-conformist who hates to work but does it anyway in order to retain custody of the nephew he loves...

...with Gemma that naughtiness enters the picture. She has cooked up a scheme-unnecessarily devious, since no one seriously opposes it-for Hamish to lie with Elsa, who will then hatch out the child that she, Gemma, wants but cannot give birth to. She herself, more to serve iniquity than to requite passion, will bed with Victor. "Love," she tells Elsa, is "gene calling to gene, as country cats call to each other across fields...
