the stage

I CAME INTO THE WORLD, by Peter Handke, and THE JEWISH WIFE, by Bertolt Brecht. This double bill played for months on end last year. Friends of mine claimed it was outstanding although they couldn't understand the Handke and didn't like the Brecht.

8:30 p.m. at the Old Cambridge Baptist Church, 1151 Mass Ave.

LOEB EX, Man for Man, Oct. 4-6, 8. free.

LOEB MAINSTAGE, The Magic Show of Dr. Ma-gico, directed by John Vaccaro, Sept. 27, 28, and 30 at 8, Sept. 29 at 5 and 9.

THE MOON CHILDREN, by Michael Wellman. Reportedly an outstanding play, based on its author's life at Brandeis. I fully intend to see it, even though this will mean breaking with my customary procedure of staying home and making snide remarks instead.

7:30 at the New Theater, 12

Holyoke Street.

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, from the Ken Kesey novel. The Old Reliable of the Boston stage, and by all accounts still worth seeing. 7:30, matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2:30, at the Charles Playhouse, 75 Warrenton St., Boston.
