THEATER On Broadway
CACTUS FLOWER. Adapter-Director Abe Burrows gives a fast spin to a French sex farce that sets a reluctantly spinsterish nurse, a determined roué of a dentist, and his beatnik mistress in a romantic whirl. Lauren Bacall is appropriately prickly as a late-blooming lovely.
YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. The eccentric Sycamore family once again cavorts on a Broadway stage in an inspired revival by the APA repertory company.
Still funny after 30 years, the zany Moss Hart-George Kaufman comedy now has the added appeal of nostalgic wholesomeness and pervasive human warmth.
THE ROYAL HUNT OF THE SUN. Brilliant plumage and clever choreography give this historical drama the shifting, colorful splendor of a kaleidoscope, but Playwright Peter Shaffer fails to inform the story of Conquistador Pizarro in Peru with a coherent dramatic or philosophical content.
INADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE. John Osborne's threnody on the middle years electrifies with bolts of bitterness and sparks of caustic humor. The lead is played with stunning force by Nicol Williamson, a 28-year-old Scotsman, who spares neither himself nor his audience.
GENERATION. The battle between age groups is second only to the battle of the sexes as the stuff of which life and plays are made. William Goodhart makes it laughing matter in a lighthearted comedy about a doting father (Henry Fonda) who finds his daughter and her nonconformist husband living in a Greenwich Village loft and—much to dad's discomfort—liking it.
