"Bill T. Jones is full of surprises. Who'd imagine he'd turn Jane Bowles's eccentrically poetic 1945 puppet play, A Quarreling Pair, into a parable in the form of a variety show about venturing from an ivory tower? He even introduces the protagonists, Harriet and Rhoda, in an "act"--a shadow play, with Leah Cox and Paul Matteson deliciously miming the genteelly squabbling sisters, while Stewart Singer and Tracy Ann Johnson voice Bowles's text on tape."
