| I'm sorry if my enthusiasm was taken as hyperbole. I merely said that in 60 years of theater-going I haven't seen a better-designed show. Lately I've been so thrilled, so reassured about the Fabulous Invalid, by DEAD OUTLAW and OH, MARY! and ORSON'S SHADOW and MAYBE HAPPY ENDING. I arrived in New York in late 1963 clutching tickets to see Vivien Leigh in TOVARICH and Mary Martin in JENNIE: greatness in ungreatness. But then along came Julie Harris in MARATHON '33 and Richard Burton in HAMLET and Margaret Leighton in THE CHINESE PRIME MINISTER and so many thrilling surprises over the years. MAYBE HAPPY ENDING is a thrilling surprise too. It's a reminder that the theater--so expensive! so often disappointing!--has been the source of so much joy in my life and continues to be. |
