THEATER

On Broadway

THE ODD COUPLE, by Neil Simon. Walter Matthau and Art Carney, two middle-aged newly de-weds, share living quarters and watch their friendship go on the rocks for precisely the same reasons that their marriages did. The play, on the other hand, is convulsively successful, thanks largely to deft construction by Playwright Simon (Barefoot in the Park) and daft direction by Mike Nichols.

ALL IN GOOD TIME. Bill Naughton has written a sharp-eyed comedy about a pair of newlyweds with an intimate marital problem and problem parents to boot. Naughton has some funny things to say, and Donald Wolfit and Marjorie Rhodes say them with polished expertise.

TINY ALICE, the dark lady of Edward Albee's allegory, has baffled critic and playgoer alike; only in the impeccable performances of the cast headed by Irene Worth and John Gielgud, pseudo-metaphysics take on theatrical vitality.

THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. In healthy, vulgar slugfest between sex and the spirit, Diana Sands's screeching prostitute discovers she has a mind, and Alan Alda's dusty bookstore clerk admits he has a body. They almost lose each other trying to reconcile the difference.
