A THEATREGOER'S NOTEBOOK
by Rebecca Morehouse

FUN WITH FREUD
To a good many actors, and some playwrights, psychiatry is a light in the mine shaft of life. Christopher Durang, the author of Beyond Therapy, has sought that light. So have three of the comedy's five actors. John Madden, the bright, breezy Briton who staged it, has not. 
  "English people don't go to therapists," he said, "we have our nervous breakdowns in quiet corners. Chris and Kate McGregor-Stewart (who plays a shrink) share the same therapist, John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest have been in therapy. In choosing the cast, he saw 60 actors.
   "I have the greatest admiration for actors. When they're rejected they feel their whole personality has been rejected. The resilience that requires is an act of bravery. Chris's play (an Off-Broadway hit last year) is incredibly funny, so there are dangers. I like plays that flirt with chaos."
   He sees a world of difference between English and American actors. "English actors work within definite structures in tightly conceived patterns. American actors start from the position that anything is possible, and that is exhilarating."
   Blondish and 33, he directed Arthur Kopit's Wings in 1979, and this season, Jules Feiffer's Grown Ups. Broadway ticket prices "create a weight of expectation that a play will make you feel wonderful," he said. He will next direct Liv Ullmann in Ghosts, and the Cronyns in Foxfire.

HAVE YOU HEARD?—
That Colleen Dewhurst's younger son, Campbell's Scott, has acting on his mind? She'd like him to study with Stella Adler. Father George C. Scott acts a little.
   That the beautiful Violet Heming left her portraits to the Museum of the City of New York? One shows her as Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.

BLOODLINES
By dramatic coincidence (and generosity of genes) two of the season's most admired performances were provided by a father and daughter, Christopher Plummer in Othello, Amanda Plummer in Agnes of God. Melvin Van Peebles, pere, and Megan Van Peebles, fille, strut the stage in Waltz of the Stork. Henry and Jane Fonda share a screen in On Golden Pond.

Fathers and daughters have a rich theatrical history. Joan Bennett accomplished her New York Debut in Jarnegan with her famous father, Richard Bennett; "His greatest pleasure was the father-daugter curtain call we took together.' Paula and Dorothy Stone danced with father Fred.

Add these stage fathers and daughters; Lee and Susan Strasberg, Raymond and Anna Massey, Gene and June Lockhart, Ralph and Claudia Morgan (together three summers at the Casino Theater at Newport), Otis and Cornelia Otis Skinner, Herbert and Sarah Marshall, whose mother was Edna Best.

And these: Maurice and Ethel Barrymore; he, touring with a mongoose, a racoon, monkeys and birds, was not welcomed at the best hotels; John and Diana Barrymore, Ned and Nedda Harrigan (Logan), Frank and Margalo Gillmore, Ernest and Betty Lawford, Jacob and Stella Adler, Ben and Margaret Webster.
