THEATER
On Broadway
LUV, by Murray Schisgal, sends three very modern and morose souls through a slapstick, tongue-wagging, satirical inferno of cocktail-party griefs. Under Mike Nichols' brilliantly inventive direction, Actors Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson and Alan Arkin produce constant and crippling hilarity.
COMEDY IN MUSIC. That matchless mirthmaster of the keyboard, Victor Borge, riffles through gags and slides off the piano bench without altering his usual mask of dismay and disdain. Added notes, comic and musical, are provided by Straight Man Leonid Hambro.
A SEVERED HEAD wittily tucks three men and three women into bed in a variety of heterosexual combinations. A superb cast gives this British comedy high glee and high gloss without blinding playgoers to its underlying moral and mythical ambiguity.
OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR. Blending song and satire, commcdia dell' arte garb and Brechtian notions, Joan Littlewood and her "thinking clowns" effectively depict the foolishness and ironies of the 1914-18 war.
