By ANDREW ZERMAN
Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn are not just
two charming and gifted artists: They're a
couple of very loving people too.
And yesterday morning at Waterman Town
Hall the duo demonstrated what a capacity
they have not only for love, but for displaying
all the emotional nuances that it contains.
In their program, The Many Faces of Love,
the couple presented a montage of poems,
monologues, and readings that were witty,
beautifully written and elegantly performed.
How skillfully the couple avoided preciousness
sentimentality and cliche!
How clever of them to include Thomas Wolfe,
Dostoyevsky, Dylan Thomas, Theodore Rilke
and Benjamin Franklin and to exclude, sublime
as they are, the better-known Shakespearean
sonnets.
Much of the program was devoted to satirical
and bittersweet comments on the nature of mar-
riage and the proverbial war between the sexes.
Interesting glances from one side of the stage
to the other had an odd way of suggesting simul-
taneously gentle malice and irritated love be-
tween the two actors. They are, incidentally,
married in real life.
But the Cronyns didn't limit themselves to
the trials of domestic life. Dylan Thomas's "Do
Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" extolled
love of living and a soliloquoy from Shake-
speare's Henry VI considered the potential dan-
gers of frustrated love.
By using such a broad definition of "love,"
the Cronyns had no trouble in maintaining va-
riety in the program.
But my favorite selections, interestingly
enough, both dealt with "love remembered."
First, Cronyn read a passage from Wolfe's
Of Time and the River in which a young boy
remembers the strange but vivid ways in which
his older brother, now dead, displayed affection.
