THEATER

On Broadway PETERPAT, by Enid Rudd. In olden days man fought Tyrannosaurus rex; nowadays he battles Tyrannosaurus regina —his wife. With Dick Shawn and Joan Hackett deftly handling the key roles, this wry, observant comedy argues with cogency that marriage is funny as hell.

TINY ALICE, by Edward Albee. Life is a many-symboled thing in this opaque play of the post-Christian ethos. Paradoxically, Alices only emotional vitality stems from Christian symbols and experience. The language is sometimes eloquent but often merely prolix. The cast, headed by John Gielgud, is a marvel.

HUGHIE. Jason Robards and Eugene O'Neill prove incomparable stagemates once again in this engrossing and poignant study of a man's need for a false mirror image wherein he may see himself as he is not.

POOR RICHARD does not register as many laughs as Mary, Mary, but Jean Kerr again produces the wit that is instant wisdom. Alan Bates plays the kind of mixed-up wanderer that women yearn to straighten out and anchor.
