...implication is lost in the metic ulous revival at the Long Wharf Theater, which tenderly evokes the Millers' tribal intimacy. Even so, the play could have been cut. Dick is too fragile a character to sustain interest, and his mooncalfing is made graceless by O'Neill's wooden dialogue. But Arvin Brown's staging has a rich visual impact reminiscent of Fellini. A dwarf of a maid scuttles around the dinner table, which is dominated by a jolly drunken uncle (John Braden) sucking on lobster shells. Button-nosed Spinster Teresa Wright alternately gig gles and blushes...
Working in his rabbit-warren studio at the end of a wharf in Boston harbor, Wiseman spends six months to a year editing a film, "figuring out what the sequences mean to me and ordering them in a way that expresses the themes I think are there." These sequences are visual quotes, and in Wiseman's "reordering and condensing" they are both by intent and of necessity often used out of context.

The show is done to music, and the players are supposed to be exceptionally good. Since the Caravan Theater closed down for the summer there's not much around in the way of political revues, so if you go in for that sort of stuff you may want to take a look into this. The price is right and lord knows there's enough for the troupe to satirize. Monday...
...wharf was quiet and empty, occupied by gulls. An Egyptian cargo ship, that had been unloading cement when war overtook the port, was still surrounded by bags of cement, opened and untouched. A smaller ship lay sunk near by, its coffee cargo ruined. One of eight cranes had been hit by a shell, but the others were undamaged. The Israelis have promised that they will not touch any of the civilian equipment before withdrawing...
