...Stoppard loves playing around with dramatic from: the characters in his plays see themselves as figuratively or literally on a stage. Fassbinder displays a similar interest in form, and a feeling for intricate vision detail to match Stoppard's verbal relish. Match this pair with Nabokov, with his witty, self-conscious prose and playful pokes at literary form and point-of-view, and you have a threesome so finely tuned that they practically exclude the rest of us. Add Dirk Bogarde, one of Britain's most mannered, fastidious actors, and it's no surprise Despair is impenetrable...
...Germany's finest living novelist, Günter Grass has clowned his way to his nation's most serious truths. The Tin Drum and Dog Years are masterpieces of comedy and verbal invention about the culture and history that suppurated as the Third Reich. In other novels, plays and poems, he dealt with the Hitler aftermath of political divisions and haunted affluence. One mark of Grass's success is the uneasiness he caused the average German of his own World War II generation. In a tradition where philosophy and history stand on pedestals of grand abstractions, Grass...

The new appointee, Ruth Loomis (Jane Alexander), is a rabid conservative hatched in Orange County, Calif. Naturally, they get into verbal fencing matches but they duel with rubber foils and specious logic...
Mary, Mary, which opens Saturday, is strong on the verbal wit. Written by Jean Kerr, author of Please Don't Eat the Daisies and wife to critic Walter Kerr, the comedy made a star of Barbara Bel Geddes in the fifties. Admittedly a bit slow in spots, Mary contains many sharp lines: "That's what I hate about intellectuals--they're all so dumb!" is a good one to throw at pompous TA's. At the Actors Workshop Theater; call 266-6840 for the usual info. and ask about the student rate...
