A 15-member cast, ail femnale, is needed. ' Accomplice,' by Rupert Homes, is, on the surface, an old-fashioned, British comedy- thriller. But as the audience later discovers, there is in fact something entirely different going on. This sophisticated, multi- layered play features exciting special effects and many surprises. Two men and two women are needed. 'Into the Woods,' by Stephea Sondheim, is the third show.

Despite competition from the 'Phantain,' which opeaed the saine year, ' Inta the Woods' won the Tony for best score and ran for almost two years on Broadway.
