THEATER

On Broadway THE BALLAD OF THE SAD CAFE is a wan retracing by Playwright Edward Albee of Carson McCullers' dark fable about the strange and obsessive attractions of love, with Colleen Dewhurst, Lou Antonio and Michael Dunn, a malapert actor-dwarf, locked in a luckless triangle of yearning and rejection.

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. In a bizarre newlyweds' nook, Elizabeth Ashley and Robert Redford have only love to keep them warm—but Playwright Neil Simon stokes the evening with a fire of laughs.

JENNIE subjects Mary Martin to the terrors of waterfall and torture wheel, but these are comic larks compared to the book and lyrics of this musical that glooms through the early days of Laurette Taylor.

THE PRIVATE EAR and THE PUBLIC EYE, two one-acters by Peter Shaffer, play Getting to Know You, first to the sketchy theme of boyish bunglings in a scrubby flat, second to the more artful airs of a detective shadowing a seemingly errant wife.

CHIPS WITH EVERYTHING, by Arnold Wesker, fights the class war between the Establishment and the proles in a peacetime R.A.F. training camp. The play takes the blight off its agitprop wash with its rollicking good humor.

THE REHEARSAL. Neither the 18th century costumes they wear for a play within this Anouilh play nor their witty words can hide the motives of aristocrats intent on destroying a pure—and classless—love.
