...ball park vendor is no different than any other laborer. The hours are different--lasting four quarters, three periods, or nine innings. The days are different, too; West coast swings, southern jaunts, and three-day excursions make the schedule shaky and uneven. But the vendor has an employer and a union as any other occupation...

...good that the Radcliffe Institute has acted to call attention to the special problems that women artists face. This first exhibit is uneven, but it is especially admirable because it shows us art--not just women's art. The gallery could have put together a collection of politically feminist art and called it the kind of women's art that needs to be supported. But that would have been defeating the whole point.

Still, Kafka: The World of Parable deserves all the audience it can get. The performance is uneven, it tends to make Kafka a little too slap-stick, but Sanders and Timm pull it off on a shoestring. Because Sander's principle of organization suggests more stream of consciousness than structure, it opens up Kafka's dramatic possibilities. There are many ways in which the play could have been built. As it is, this production hints at all of them.
