Elia Kazan Critiqued for The Changeling Production
Critic Jack Gaver contends Elia Kazan misjudged the Seventeenth century drama The Changeling at ANTA Washington Square Theater. He singles out the subplot as wasteful and credits Barry Primus for the servant role while noting Barbara Loden overmatched and others perform unevenly. The Repertory Theater at Lincoln Center opens its second season with this staging before moving to Arthur Miller's Incident at Vichy.
