No need to say much about this mis-hap of a play. What makes the occasion even more upsetting is that a perfectly good idea for a cracklingly good drama has been botched by playwright Beau Willmon and his play "SPIRIT CONTROL" is dull ,confusing , and unsatisfying.
It even gets off to a most promising start as it tells of an air traffic controller who talks a terrified through an emergency landing when the pilot of a small plane suffers a heart attack, but after that taut start the play goes off in so many directions that the total effect is almost total disaster.
The stage direction by Henry Wishcamper is on the droopy side and the acting can best be described as low grade stock.
Add to all this a cheap looking production[the projections are sub-standard high school] and "SPIRIT CONTROL" [ even with a solid premise behind it] winds up being a well meaning but total botch.
At THE N.Y. CITY CENTER STAGE 1 131 WEST 55th STREET N.Y.C.
