Dear Liar

Jerome Kilty's "Play for Two Voices" is composed of excerpts from the correspondence between George Bernard Shaw and Mrs. Patrick Campbell, eked out with scenes from Pygmalion and The Apple Cart, and some connective matter by Mr. Kilty. Shaw's letters are as witty as his plays, and Mrs. Campbell was in every way a match for him. Their letters are full of delicate shades of feeling and redolent of two strikingly original personalities. Dear Liar may not be really a play, but it is certainly a pleasure.

Nobody knows quite what went on between G.B.S. and the beautiful Mrs. Pat for whom he wrote Pygmalion. Their early letters, even the love letters, are high comedy, and those which show the long deterioration of their relationship are genuinely poignant.

Kilty and Cavada Humphrey, who comprise the cast, are both actors of gleaming style. Simply sitting on their stools and reading, or playing rehearsal scenes with books in hand, they are more truly theatrical than many stagesful of ranting Roscii.
