NY TIMES REVIEW EXCERPTS: One Guilt Trip, Plain, And Hold the Agony: Perhaps there is something anesthetizing in the discovery that no one in the world is innocent. Portraying a man in thrall to this harsh revelation in the grievously misconceived revival of Arthur Miller's ''After the Fall,'' which opened last night at the American Airlines Theater, Peter Krause certainly appears to be feeling no pain. Or joy. Or any of the stronger emotions, pleasant or unpleasant, that crop up in between. Ms. Gugino is a likable, lively presence, probably too lively for the play's purposes. This Maggie is such a spark plug that when she begins her slide into suicidal despair, you keep expecting her to pop right back up into fighting form, like a glamour-puss Rasputin. Adam and Eve may have wept upon leaving Eden, at least according to Milton. Facing a similar exile in Mr. Miller's tale of innocence lost, Mr. Krause's Quentin seems to find only numbness. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------TONY AWARD HAVEN OPINION: After the Fall will almost certainly not get a nomination in the Best Revival of a Play category seeing as the entire production, with a few exceptions, was panned by every critic.
