Back to Company Wives:
One of the most frustrating
things about an involved over
populated play of this sort is the
constant reiteration that a par
ticular man is brilliant. The
author proceeds on the assump-
ton that if his players say it
often enough, the audience will
believe it. Charles Drake, the
actor who was required to play
the role of the phenomenal new
executive, demonstrated this
boundless talent for business by
quickly devising an indoor bar
becue kit. What he did was to
saw off the legs of one of the
outdoor models.
