No one really knew what to expect at the lecture-demonstration of the con- troversial Living Theatre group last Mon- day night in Hickman Hall. In light of the companyis reputation, almost any- thing could have happened. The 35 mem- ber troupe, headed by Julian Beck and Judith Melina, has been praised and scornedg audiences have been both in- tensely aroused and bored or disgusted. Critic Walter Kerr felt discomfort, Eric Bentley rejected this ufreei' theatre, and Clive Barnes rejected Bentleyls rejection. I can't travel Without a pass- portf, One Whisper through the aisles of the lecture hall, then too many to count, all rising in volume, all at different pitch levels, all at counterpoint. Hickman was transformed to Bedlam. Tension became high enough for a scream, then a shriek, then another, and iinally an abrupt audi- tory void.
