BOOK: CAROL BURNETT—‘THIS TIME TOGETHER: LAUGHTER AND REFLECTION’ ·

 

(Dave Itzkoff's article appeared in the New York Times, March 30.) 

A Touch for Funny Bones and Earlobes

MONTECITO, Calif. — “I’ll buzz you in, Dear,” a bright, familiar voice said through an intercom outside a Spanish-style ranch home here. A gate opened, and at the end of a circular drive, crowded inside a doorway to avoid an unusual steady California rain, stood the oblivious Starlett O’Hara, the vainglorious Nora Desmond, the tempestuous Eunice Higgins and the one woman who embodied them all, Carol Burnett.

*****ALAN AYCKBOURN: ‘TAKING STEPS’ (REVIEW) ·

(Dominic Maxwell's article appeared in the Times of London, 3/30.)

Taking Steps at the Orange Tree, Richmond

Here’s an Alan Ayckbourn revival that sets the record straight. Thirty years ago, this mini masterpiece of a farce became one of Ayckbourn’s rare flops when it moved from his Scarborough theatre-in-the-round to the proscenium arch of the Lyric, Hammersmith in London. It lost so much of its charm that it made Ayckbourn’s wife cry at the interval.
