CLASS OF ONE

I first saw Zoe Caldwell act 33 years ago when we were both with the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis (“When Two Legends Meet,” by Jan Breslauer, June 11). I made a vow then never to miss one of her performances. In a long life in the theater, I have never seen a better performance than Zoe’s. “Master Class” might have some weaknesses, but whatever they are they don’t matter. The audience is lifted up, carried along, made to think, to laugh and then wrung out. What more can be asked of it?
