Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Tomorrow and Tomorrow (1931), a play by Philip Barry. [Henry Miller Theatre, 206 perf.] Gail ( Harvey Stephens) and Eve Redman ( Zita Johann) are a childless couple who live in a small American town where Gail's father had founded a college. When the noted Dr. Hay ( Herbert Marshall) comes to teach at the school, the college authorities ask the Redmans to house him. Before long, Eve has had not only an affair with the doctor but has borne his child, although she leads Gail to believe the baby is his. Years later, the boy suffers an emotional trauma after an accident, and Eve summons Hay. He manages to cure the boy, something other doctors had failed to do. Hay begs Eve to come with the boy and live with him, but she remains true to her faithful, uncomprehending husband. Burns Mantle hailed the Gilbert Miller production as “sensitively and delicately wrought in both character and situation.”
