‎Stage Struck‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: Seaver Books 1981. One small edge tear on back of jacket. Remainder mark on bottom edge otherwise in very nice condition. By ALVIN KLEIN Published: March 2 1986 Sunday WITH its production of Simon Gray's seldom-seen ''Stage Struck'' which runs through March 16 the enterprising Forum Theater Group here is inaugurating a mini-British festival. ''Stage Struck'' will be followed by the American premiere of ''Mr. Cinders'' a 1929 musical recently revived on London's West End. It will run from April 30 through May 25. A 1979 London hit that starred Alan Bates ''Stage Struck'' a comedic unmysterious mystery stuffed with transparent shades of ''Sleuth'' and ''Deathtrap'' has only twice been presented in the United States by the Pennsylvania Stage Company in Allentown and by Montclair's Summerfun Theater last summer. It is hardly likely that one will be seeing much more of ''Stage Struck'' for this is one of those pseudothrillers that can run - on and on - in London but close in a flash hereabouts. The Metuchen production coincides with the publication of a volume of essays by Mr. Gray ''An Unnatural Pursuit and Other Pieces.'' Among other subjects he writes about his play ''The Common Pursuit'' which was seen in a Connecticut regional theater last year but has not had a New York production or for that matter a London one. Mr. Gray is no stranger to success on these shores. His plays ''Butley'' and ''Otherwise Engaged'' have been acknowledged as major works. Indeed ''Otherwise Engaged'' is a major major one. ''Molly'' and ''Quartermaine's Terms'' are not far behind. ''Stage Struck'' however is not so much stage-struck as stuck. Filled with hanging dummies gunshots with bullets blank and real blades pulled out at the drop of a gun and of course at least a soupcon of blood it also has too many dead spots to be an enticing example of the genre. Mr. Gray has written it carelessly. Attempted wordplays fall flat the title's double-edged significance is as blunted as those stage blades and Mr. Gray's witticisms are all too often contradicted. Also blackout scenes end with a thud and curtain lines are inept. A successful actress suspects that her husband a mere stage manager is only out for her money. Conspiracies abound crimes are staged and victims are ''struck.'' Who's out to kill whom Who cares Staged for what it is worth by Peter Loewy the Metuchen production is blessed by the presence of the attractive Meg Bussert. She is a well-known musical actress and one of the best ones around in the New York theater. This viewer has never seen Miss Bussert in a ''straight'' role although she has done them mostly in stock productions. Although subjected to emitting a couple of screams ineffectually contrived by the playwright Miss Bussert makes a neat transition from her customary forte as the temperamental yet blase prima donna of the piece. She conveys a real love and an obsession for acting. William Mooney as her presumably debonair husband is unconvincingly debonair and that ought to be a flashy star part. Yet Hal Davis neighbor lover friend betrayer and Forrest Compton lay therapist private detective are just fine. But neither they nor Miss Bussert can save ''Stage Struck.'' What should have been an evening of fun and gory games is a dud. MILLBURN For the Paper Mill Playhouse the farce ''The Foreigner'' is filler. What is most newsworthy about it is that the play a ''sleeper'' if ever there was one is still running at the Astor Place Theater in Manhattan where it opened Nov. 1 1984 to notices that can charitably be called mixed. Originally it was produced by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. In Millburn where it is scheduled to run through March 23 ''The Foreigner'' is playing in a house inappropriately cavernous. However the Paper Mill's technical effects are as usual first rate. The Paper Mill has 1192 seats; the Astor Place 299. Off Broadway the play did well during previews and was even considered Broadway-bound. Once the reviews were released however business sagged. Money ran out and the closing notice was posted. . A Texas oil millionaire came to the rescue and the rest is the stuff of which theater legend is made: A testament to so-called ''word of mouth.'' No account of the play's beleaguered past and prosperous present would be complete without adding that Sudie Bond a much-cherished character and comedic actress who had the female lead died after the first week of post-preview performances. Also Larry Shue the playwright -he filled one of the supporting roles in the Off Broadway production and then took over the lead - was killed in an airplane crash last September. The Paper Mill production is dedicated to his memory. It also must be mentioned that some critical reaction to ''The Foreigner'' is positive. The play was selected as one of the season's best in the ''Burns Mantle Yearbook'' and won an Outer Circle Critics Award. How odd. The plot concerns Charlie a shy Englishman who happens to wander into the lodge of a fishing resort in Georgia. Ask not why. He is more than a bit of a nerd; in fact Charlie declares straightaway that he's ''boring'' and asks ''How does one acquire a personality'' The setup - seemingly interminable before some laughs set in - is that Charlie feigns being a ''foreigner'' to avoid speaking. Of course everyone reveals everything to him - and there is much to reveal. Little of it is of sustained interest although actually there are more conspiracies here than in ''Stage Struck.'' When Charlie is not indulging in ''weird zombie talk'' ''gok'' and ''blit'' mean ''yes'' and ''no'' in his pretend language he says ''Thank you'' distinctly - and to anyone about anything. For this viewer neither the farcical maneuvering here ably directed by David Saint nor the underlying message - it involves the Ku Klux Klan and universal prejudice against ''foreigners'' - works. Then there is a fanatical reverend who is himself pretending to love a young woman so that he can marry for money and establish a ''new Christian white nation.'' The lines are mostly elbow-in-the-ribs obvious. Samples: ''No one can keep a secret like Charlie can'' and ''I think he knows more than he lets on.'' The title role is a super chance for a star turn. In Millburn Bob Denver is a study in stony-faced comic dimentia and wild gyrations making the role appear as improvisational as it ought to be. Whereas Jane Connell is in a constant state of frenzy as the loud proprietress the role Miss Bond had the supporting players do what they can to convince one of the professional importance of being earnest about a dumb play. .
