Futures

The current Broadway season, with 30 openings so far, is one of the leanest on record. It will not get much fatter in the months ahead, and most of its dramatic weight will be supplied by revivals. Some of them:

P:Three two-week productions of the New York City Drama Festival: Ibsen's The Wild Duck, with Maurice Evans and Diana Lynn; Eugene O'Neill's Anna Christie, with Celeste Holm; Clemence Dane's Come of Age, with Judith Anderson.

P:An American National Theater and Academy production of O'Neill's Desire Under the Elms, with Karl Maiden and Douglas Watson.

P:John O'Hara's Pal Joey (music by Richard Rodgers), with Vivienne Segal, who also starred in the original 1940 cast.

P:Among the productions new to Broadway will be: Laurence Olivier's production of Christopher Fry's Venus Observed, with Lilli Palmer and Rex Harrison; Fancy Meeting You Again, a play about reincarnation by George S. Kaufman and Leueen MacGrath; Herman (The Caine Mutiny) Wouk's Modern Primitive; Enid (National Velvet) Bagnold's Gertie, starring Glynis Johns.
