...John Paul showed that he could be firm, he also demonstrated he could be highly unpredictable. An example came last week with his trip to a Rome hospital to see ailing Bishop Andr??-Marie Deskur, the same friend he had visited the day after his election. According to church sources, when the Pope slipped quietly out of the Vatican for his return visit, he wore a priest's black cassock and was whisked off in a car with Rome license plates?instead of using his telltale Mercedes with its Vatican plates. It was an almost unheard-of thing...

...responsibility of Monmouth's condition must rest with its author, and his director, Mr. Christopher Hart, whose static stagings managed to convince me that the Ex could be made to look even more cramped and confining than it actually is. Some of their actors do some notable work. Andr??© Bishop is genuinely and broadly amusing as the Duke of York, while Robert Edgar almost manager to suggest substantial complexity in the role of Charles II.
