Jessica (Zohra Lampert) has just been released from a mental institution. She and her husband Duncan (Barton Heyman) opt out of the New York scene for a creaky Connecticut retreat, and find that they have acquired not only the house but its tenants of yesteryear. Duncan initially dismisses the weird noises and the hostility of the townfolk, every man jack of them with a scar on his neck. And Jessica begins to wonder if it isn't all in her mind.

...unlike House Parties Weekends of yesteryear, one of the highlights is not likely to be the Harvard-Princeton lacrosse game at 2 p.m. today on Finney Field.

Chill as A is symbolically castrated by some sinister leprechauns left over from a ballet of yesteryear. Hiss the uncle. Chortle with a tipsy canon (Ronald Radd) and a tipsier abbess (Jacqueline Brookes). So much for medieval color. In dialogue. Playwright Millar has spared his audience the one line that the show subliminally calls to mind: "This thing is bigger than both of us." The lines that...
