"This is a difficult play, but the director, Benjamin Viertel, and his frequently nude cast seem more or less undaunted. Many of his choices are inventive and sophisticated; others are unnecessary, and he hasn’t yet managed the trick of getting all the actors to populate the same world. Still, his enthusiasm and ingenuity are very much in evidence, and it will be exciting to see what he and his designers accomplish next." Full Review
