...acres each weekend, rummaging through wares displayed at 400 stalls, haggling with sellers and walking away with treasures-and junk-of every description. Fuzzy stuffed animals and live parrots. Miniature Japanese pagodas and bonsai trees. Madonna and child statuettes. Sea shells and natural sponges. "This," exults Mary Wright, "is the last bastion of free enterprise. My God, what a business...
...unit set designed by John Wright Stevens is a curtained belvedere that does not lend itself well to the different locations called for in the play. Most of the Brandeis stage is unused, since the set is placed so far forward. The playing area is unduly shallow and so steeply raked that it must be difficult to move about on.

...high priestess in the realm of the irrational, Jayne Meadows Allen does a deadly parody of Louella Parsons, and Max Wright is a marvel of frustration as a writer with nothing to show for his work but a gilded cage. If one name must rank above the other 28 in the cast, it has to be that of John Lithgow, whose simple-souled George cements his reputation as an actor of formidable versatility...
