THEATER
On Broadway
THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE. William Saroyan's play is revived with great care and affection by the Lincoln Center Repertory Company. In the context of 1969, this 30-year-old work is revealed as a kind of prophecy prefiguring changing dramatic trends and the skeptical questioning of American values.
THREE MEN ON A HORSE. Jack Gilford plays Erwin, a composer of verses for greeting cards, and Sam Levene plays Patsy, the horseplayer, in this 1935 comedy. The cast is superb, and while the plot may contain no surprises, the entire production is polished to a high gloss.
