...company's current six-week stand at Lincoln Center, however, has a special point of interest. It is its first under the directorship of Kenneth MacMillan, 42, an Ashton disciple who is best known for his full-length Romeo and Juliet, and who succeeded his mentor in the fall of 1970. For the occasion, the company is sporting two new MacMillan pieces. Alas, together they lay two of the biggest eggs of the New York ballet season...
They are all dead behind the eyes, but vividly, wincingly alive in the theater. Playwright Jason Miller, 33, whose only previous full-length play, Nobody Hears a Broken Drum, was a quick flop, has chiseled out each role to give it the clean profile of humanity and of pity. The actors do him proud, seeming to have traveled every step of the way, from adolescent victory to middle-aged defeat, laughing and crying together. Director A.J.

But McCarry never comes close to defining his subject, in part because he never understands the consuming and monastic role-as Public Citizen-that Nader has assigned himself...
Absurdist playwrights like Ionesco and Pinter have taken as their special province the psychic discordance -both funny and unnerving-that occurs when words are out of sync with reality, as in a dubbed movie. This is at the root of Rooted, the first full-length play by Australia's Alexander Buzo, 28, which is being given its U.S. premiere by Connecticut's Hartford Stage Company. Buzo is no tracing-paper mimic; he is linked to Ionesco and Pinter by an intuitive kinship of mind, spirit and talent...
