Charles T. W. (Adam) Curle ticks off statistics on violence and underdevelopment with a curious mixture of weariness and undisguised excitement. Fifty wars in the underdeveloped world since World War II, 40 coups in the last two years alone, deaths, casualties--to Curle, now a professor of Education and Development at the Ed School, each figure is a reprimand and a challenge...

Although several of his 29 works (Polly with a Past, Adam and Eva) became Broadway successes between 1902 and 1938, Middleton's most enduring script-written while he was Dramatists' Guild president from 1927 to 1929-is entitled the Minimum Basic Agreement, which still governs the theater's royalty system...

Newenhuyse's Adam is far funnier than it is wrong-headed. Norma Levin is a strong and charming Rosalind, playing her maturation for good laughs and better audience identification, emphasizing the quick intelligence of Shakespeare's heroine. Danius Turek is a triumph of physical casting as Orlando, a huge, handsome, stereotype sweetheart, his readings and emotional range consistently pleasing. As portrayed by Carolyn Firth, Celia is at once acid and naive...
