THEATER
On Broadway
ALL IN GOOD TIME. Bill Naughton has fashioned a tenderly perceptive human comedy out of a single, obvious and slightly quaint-sounding joke: the inability of a pair of provincial newlyweds to consummate their marriage. Where Naughton and a comic wonder of a cast succeed is in bringing back the theater's vanishing breed—real people.
TINY ALICE. Everyone's afraid of Alice in Edward Albee's brainteaser, though no one seems to know who she is. John Gielgud and Irene Worth are excellent in the respective roles of a lay brother and the world's richest woman.
THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. A raucous contest between the flesh and the spirit has riotous results. Diana Sands and Alan Alda are delightful as a battling prostitute and book clerk.
LUV. Three characters take a bath in a river of self-pitying tears. The talents of Author Murray Schisgal, Director Mike Nichols, and Actors Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson and Alan Arkin make the immersion hilarious.
