-LA WEEKLY (Sandra Ross)
WHISPER IN MY GOOD EAR
According to Howard Taubman, the play "is a study of two old pensioners who find surcease from their fleabag of a hotel and their loneliness in meeting near the edge of a park lake. This time they have met to carry out an agreement to commit suicide together.... Nothing happens between them, but the two talk—amiably, impatiently, bitterly—and reveal themselves and the sources of their despair."
MRS. DALLY HAS A LOVER. New York Newsday says: "It has something of the quality of a Dorothy Parker sketch with its keen observations and deft portrait of a woman in love, knowing that this love cannot last. Mrs. Dally is well into her thirties, married to a man she despises and carrying on an affair with the teenaged son of a family living in the same tenement building.... The boy is affectionate but inarticulate; the woman has larger dimensions in her efforts to sow romance and harvest beauty in barren soil.... there was no false note in the touching one-acter."
