THEATER

On Broadway

YOU KNOW I CAN'T HEAR YOU WHEN THE WATER'S RUNNING. Robert Anderson uses sex to ski through four separate playlets, and the trip is thoroughly enjoyable—even if a trifle obsessive. Martin Balsam, Eileen Heckart and George Grizzard slalom through the comedy with dazzling grace, while Director Alan Schneider unfurls the humor in a blizzard of hilarity.

THE HOMECOMING. British Playwright Harold Pinter never shouts. He whispers, and his whispers echo endlessly. Performed by members of the Royal Shakespeare Company and directed by Peter Hall, his drama is as entertaining as it is compelling. Whispering of family, of love, of men and women, of exploitation, every word carries weight, every pause makes a point.

BLACK COMEDY, by Peter Shaffer, might be called "Blowout." A frantic two-timer and furniture snatcher (Michael Crawford) tries to salvage his romance and career in an antic blindman's bluff when the lights go out on a crucial, crowded evening.

THE APA REPERTORY COMPANY, with Rosemary Harris, offers a well-conceived, well-balanced dramatic diet for those who hunger for theatrical classics and hits of the past. School for Scandal, The Wild Duck, War and Peace and You Can't Take It with You are given felicitous revivals.

AT THE DROP OF ANOTHER HAT. The humor of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann's revue resembles a martini: smooth, sly and definitely dry.
