Theater: Lonesome Lovers
(2 of 2)
Since Alan Schneider chose to direct a gargoylish fantasy with poker-faced realism, the cast give mismatching performances. Physically formidable as Miss Amelia, Colleen Dewhurst has apparently decided to let Pavlov be her psychological guide. When Cousin Lymon appears, she coos; when Marvin Macy appears, she claws. Lou Antonio foams irately as the defrauded bridegroom, but his anger seems to stop at the tonsils. Only Michael Dunn is eerily phantasmagoric in the way the play might have been. A dwarf, as well as a remarkable actor, Dunn owes less to Albee than Albee owes to him. When he is on stage, Sad Café is a tensing nightmare; when he is off, it is a flaccid daydream.
