...Madison Avenue's biggest ad agencies tells this story: In February 1996 he got an unexpected summons to the office of a new and younger boss. On his way in he nodded to a woman he did not know; he thought he was about to be given a new account with which she was somehow connected.

...wouldn't have done Carousel or Twelfth Night without Crowley. "Bob's aesthetic is mine as well: that a theater world should be poetic, a world of the imagination; that it should be hospitable to actors; that it should be bold in the use of colors." That would account for the glorious pools, and the pathways that slide together at the end to bring the lovers together. As Hytner says, "We are also both totally shameless about feeling that now and then you have to give the audience a visual lift, a visual thrill...
