But I was struck by other
aspects of this unusual two
character script, as well.
The role Of Earl Hoffman,
who played the American SOL
der, ran 10 the tape-recOrded
conversational school of writing
exemplified by Paddy Chayev-
sky. This left Hayakawa, whose
dialogue was confined to words
in Japanese, in almost sharp
and classic contrast.
I kept wishing that the au-
thor had dropped some other
type on the island, but he
could have done worse. 1t could
have been Marion Brando with
that distressing "Sayonara" ac-
cent.
Hoffman did surprisingly
well in an almost impossible
situation, l thought.
But what this play drove
home most effectively, maybe,
was the fact that TV writer's
are almost consistently over
writing; directors under-direct-
ing, and actors merely reading
