THEATER

On Broadway

THE ODD COUPLE. Art Carney and Walter Matthau are wonderfully droll as two recently de-wived men. Neil Simon's lines and the wild comic touch of Director Mike Nichols keep the play on the brink of gleeful absurdity.

LUV. Here Nichols is concerned with an odd trio. Anne Jackson, Eli Wallach and Alan Arkin are creatures of the absurd, weeping cocktail tears of self-pity while the audience has all the laughs.

THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. This couple isn't so weird but is funny all the same, as a light-minded prostitute (Diana Sands) deflates a heavily stuffed shirt (Alan Alda).

TINY ALICE. The rapture of the philosophical depths has left Edward Albee woefully befuddled, but his innate gift for generating theatrical excitement makes this metaphysical mystery play provocative entertainment.
