...pair of stars acting for the satisfaction of it, an offbeat Manhattan debut by a new talent, a musty, reclaimed grind house-Tiger-Typists (see col. 1) is theater of the kind that makes off-Broadway an absentee culture hero in conversation pits from Kansas City to Bombay...
...rarer and rarer, and it is being swamped by its typical products, which are increasingly venal, sloppy, and predictable. For every promising Playwright Schisgal, there are a dozen silly spoofs of old movie musicals, or tasteless tours through neurotic junkyards of the mind, or criminal displays of self-ordained talent that might have lasted ten seconds before getting the critical gong on the late Major Bowes's Amateur Hour.

It is a gruesomely witty cautionary tale-but not one for children...
...visiting couple--he the forward sexual investigator, she the bashful tease. Ann Izzard contributes devastating barbs as Alice, and her husband, Thomas Oxnard, is the perfect foil for Morey. Edward Chase as Morey is the only weak link in the cast. He tries to make up for lack of talent by growling and shouting, but then he is probably embarrassed at the prospect of yelling profanities at the audience for an hour and a half. Who woudn...
