Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
This bittersweet two-person play by Murray Schisgal stars Eli Wallach (The Magnificent Seven, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) and his wife Anne Jackson as Paul and Sylvia, coworkers who type names out of the phone book for salesmen. Though the action of the play is continuous, The Typists moves forward from Paul's first day to many years later, capturing fights, despair, friendship, and the raw need to keep going through their lives. Schisgal's script isn't brilliant, but its quiet understanding of the ways people cope with getting through the day builds to a sincere pathos. Wallach and especially Jackson are excellent; Jackson never makes the unmarried Sylvia the object of pity--her compelling mixture of resilience and defensiveness is too tough to look down on, and too real to ignore. --Bret Fetzer

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Video, November 11, 2007
By John W. Sammons "Hot is Virginia" (SUFFOLK, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Saw this show years ago on TV when it was first shown. Enjoyed it then for its excellent performance by great actors. The story interesting as the characters age before your eyes throughout the show. Great actors, interesting script and a real jewel of a performance.
