...connections between the styles go no deeper than the surface. Gray always seems to have a well-conceived them in mind, as is evident in "Passing Through" and in "Re-entry," the tale of a stranger in a fantasy world.

Alas, a pre-Broadway tour met with disastrous reviews. Despite considerable reworking, when the show opened last week in New York City it was plain that Coke had bought fizzle, not fizz. Observed TIME Theater Critic Ted Kalem: "The British burned the White House in 1812, and Lerner...
