With its sexist plot, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM is one of those shows that probably was a riot in 1962, but seems like something is lacking when presented a half century later - until the CT Repertory version running as part of the Nutmeg Summer Series. This one, thanks to some solid performances, is funny again.

The planet and mankind are amazing. To limit ourselves to behaviors as if there is nothing more is contradicted by an accurate comprehensive understanding of the planet and the universe. Basically, love is superior to all and the universe is the entropy necessary for the expression of love. Love itself requires there to be more and Samuel A. Nigro's The Soul of the Earth is a thesis, a complete evaluation, and a poetic explanation of what love requires in order not only to survive but to be fulfilled. Should mankind fail to give provision to something more for this entirely necessary human emotion, then mankind would fall off into solipsism and anarchy.

The winter of 1962-63 in Norwich, Connecticut, had been unbearable. Snow, ice, and subfreezing temperatures added to an already gloomy and drawn-out New England winter, one that had seen its onset begin virtually at the end of the summer of 1962. Spaulding Pond in Mohegan Park, a large wooded enclave in the northern section of town, was again abundantly full this Wednesday, March 6. So full in fact that it again challenged the 110-year-old dam by which it was held in place and where a small leak, another in an ever-growing line of recent "seepages," was discovered this afternoon by park workers and reported up to the Public Works director, himself a witness to these myriad other leaks and who would summarily dismiss it this day as understood leakage.
