Critic’s Choice a comedy by Ira Levin. The hero is a well known New York Broadway drama critic…and what is the most searching way to test this paragon’s integrity? Have his wife write a play. A stinker, naturally…He first tells her she won’t finish the play, and, when she does complete it, he candidly informs her that it’s awful. And what’s worst of all, he insists that on opening night he will do his duty and review the play himself. This is only the beginning of the problem. There are complications…and our hero, Parker Ballantine, has a flock of them.
