PLAZA SUITE. Neil Simon makes three bids to provide amusement and, ably assisted by Director Mike Nichols and Actors Maureen Stapleton and E. G. Marshall, makes a grand slam.
Off Broadway
A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN. The ghost of the past haunts every serious Eugene O'Neill drama, upsetting the appetite of anyone who hopes to partake of the feast of life. In this play, three emotionally starved characters hunger for a love that is denied them.
