Lyman Felt has it all. Wealth, success, power and the kind of good solid wife he needs. Oh, and he also has another wife, the kind of earthy, sexy woman he wants. Lyman juggles his artful lie until a car accident on the slippery slope of Mt. Morgan lands him in a hospital bed and the two wives in the waiting room. But really, is there any such thing as "just an accident?"

      A car wreck on the slippery slopes of Mt. Morgan puts tycoon Lyman Felt in the hospital. As he recovers, two women learn that they are both married to him. With his secret revealed, Lyman tries to justify himself to sturdy Theo and edgy Leah while convincing himself that he should be congratulated on his struggle with honesty and passion. LATW's production of Miller's play is powerful and maddening, with actors Brian Cox, Jenny O'Hara, and Amy Pietz in top form. Their vocal characterizations are emotionally rich and fully realized down to each frustrating detail. One is left wondering if Lyman Felt and his two wives will ever recover. M.R.E.

      To double his pleasure, Lyman Felt has procured two wives, but when they find out about each other, he incurs double the wrath. Miller's play about the feelings of a lying man delve into the harder questions about human relationships, pitching love and truth to one's self at the expense of love and truth to another. As Felt comes to terms with the two families he has ruined, he must find redemption while being true to his larger-than-life self-perception. L.A. Theatre Works performs this amusing and even endearing play in front of a live audience with acclaimed actor Brian Cox lambasting his way through scenes as Felt repudiating and embracing his two angered lovers. Cox's voice, like Felt's personality, dominates nearly every scene, which benefits the production since he is the epicenter of humor, thought and enlightenment. The acoustics of the performance hall provides crisp and resonating voices of the cast while moderately capturing the audience. The ambience of it all harkens to the old days of radio shows like Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre on the Air,
      but with sound quality far superior than any antenna could provide.
