...what the Harvard Yard Palyers give out. Bernard Holmberg's Andy is not natively charming or self-aware enough to express put-on charm, coming off more as a preppie make-out artist, though the essential sanity of his role makes Holmberg look good against the other two nincompoops. Stephen Benson's Norman isn't comically awkward, just awkward; to be interested in him at all as a character we'd have to see his writing, and Benson can't move well enough to compensate the playwright's thinness.

They have also cut away any digressive interludes with such past Vonnegut characters as do-gooder Eliot Rosewater and sci-fi prophet Kilgore Trout, and built...
