THEATER
Camelot. While failing to live up to its extravagant expectations and to the richness of the Arthurian legend, the Lerner-Loewe work has sumptuous sets, some fine songs, some stylishly medieval choreography, and an expert performance by Richard Burton.
All the Way Home. A well-acted, deeply moving adaptation, retaining much of the poetry and relentless power of James Agee's Knoxville chronicle, A Death in the Family.
Advise and Consent. Although never once cutting below the surface, this political contrivance (based on Allen Drury's bestselling novel) gets behind the scenes often enough to produce brisk, even gripping theater.
Period of Adjustment. Tennessee Williams' South has become unprecedentedly sunny in a lively, skillful but somehow disappointing comedy about marital adjustment.
An Evening with Mike Nichols and Elaine May. Whether enacting Mamma and Papa, lover and mistress, P.T.A. program chairman and Southern playwright, the versatile improvisationists are funny and sharply satirical.
A Taste of Honey. An unhistrionic evocation of a world of misfits and misfortunes, with a brilliant performance by Joan Plowright.
Irma La Douce. In a pert and piquant Parisian musical, Elizabeth Seal proves herself Broadway's yummiest yum-yum girl.
The Hostage. A ramshackle showcase for the hilarious shenanigans, vaudeville stunts, irreverences, tongue-in-cheekiness and occasional profundities of Playwright Brendan Behan.
BOOKS
Best Reading
Winne Ille Pu, by A. A. Milne, translated into Latin by Alexander Lenard. Liber virginibus puerisque legendis, si quis adhuc vivit satis impiger qui alienum sermonem a maioribus pantopere excultum non fastiviat.
It Had Been a Mild, Delicate Night, by Tom Kaye. The author writes of a nymph and a satyr in London, of all places; his pagan first novel is in praise of Eros, the deity he believes makes the world go around.
Trumpets from the Steep, by Diana Cooper. Lady Diana has the delightful ability to make real people seem like Waugh characters, but there is a touch of sadness to the third volume of her autobiography, in which the brightest of the Bright Young People of the '20s say goodbye to her generation.
A Zoo in My Luggage, by Gerald Durrell. The author, who must be extremely tired of being described as the brother of Novelist Lawrence Durrell, is crackers about animals, and here he writes very well of the ones he met on an eventful trip to the Cameroons.
Goodbye to a River, by John Graves. An uncommonly well-told account of the author's sentimental journey by canoe down the Brazos River of western Texas, a watercourse that was to be destroyed by a power dam project.
