...Howard Moss has obviously written The Folding Green to be a witty and cogent commentary in the mannered, whimsical style that Poets' Theatre comedies frequently affect. It is thickly scattered throughout with jokes and clever remarks--many of which were greeted by the opening night audience with a justifiably damp silence...
...Moss has thought up a few nice epigrams ("Drosophila are so Mendelian"; "Promiscuity is the thief of time"), and various pleasant conceits. But he has also been fecund in pseudo-epigrams ("A doctor without a disease is like a poet without a passion--a mere strummer"), and little tepid fancies (an inefficient, effeminate angel who receives celestial rebukes from the sound-effects man whenever he says, "Oh, God.")

...Moss and Watkins are relatively colorless, Lee's independent candidacy has the same fantastic tinges as his political views. To Lee, politics is not the art of the possible; his platform rests on promises to reinstitute the incredible. He is against the income tax, but not just its harshness; he wants repeal of the 16th Amendment. He wants to stop the draft, break U.S. ties with the United Nations, give up our foreign aid programs, institute a national right-to-work law, and halt all Federal assistance to the school system.
