Cramped into the tiny Roundabout space in the basement of a Chelsea supermarket, Shaw’s comedy was unable to spread its wings and fly. The
acting was merely ordinary—“a good amateur try,” said Walter Kerr. Despite its
obvious lack of comedic values, Mel Gussow, for one, thought this Misalliance mustered enough interest to
pass as a “respectful, uncluttered production,” and noted “Partisans of Shaw
should be interested.”
The cast, many of them Roundabout regulars, included Tom
V.V. Tammi as Joey Percival, Hugh Franklin as John Tarleton, Elizabeth Owen as
Lina Szczepanowska, Philip Campanella as Gunner, Lou Trapani as Bentley
Summerhays, Ruth Warrick as Mrs. John Tarleton, Christine Sumerfield as Hypatia
Tarleton, and Fred Stuthman as Lord Summerhays.
