The Hasty Heart, Locate Performance Group

THE HASTY HEART

An old-fashioned, uncomplicated tearjerker with charm to spare. Set in a military hospital on the Burma front during World War II, John Patrick's play plumbs its chosen conundrum with all the atavistic morality of a situation comedy: To whit, if a misanthropic Scot is dying, do you tell him, or just make nice? The script oozes a single-minded sentimentality, yet snappy banter and a sort of pre-psychobabble purity of intention keep it well this side of treacly. The performances in ReAct's production are universally excellent, especially Angela DiMarco (above) as Sister Margaret, whose nursey ministrations would give an amputated limb Nightingale syndrome. Bathhouse Theater, 7312 W. Greenlake Dr. N., 206-364-3283 or 206-325-6500. $6-$12. 8 p.m. Fri.-Sat.; 2 p.m. Sun. Ends Sun. Aug. 31. RICK LEVIN
