There can be few more inherently untheatrical topics than a writer's struggle to find his or her individual voice. The journey is internal, the judgment that it is over is purely subjective, and the quest is not of obvious relevance to any onlooker. From Look Homeward, Angel to Brighton Beach Memoirs, plays on this topic have been talk, talk, talk. So it is startling and satisfying to see a 68-ft.-wide stage crowded with white tigers, monkey kings, acrobats, sword fighters and 18-ft.-tall spirits of wisdom gliding by % serenely as California's Berkeley Repertory Theatre unfolds...
That faith is an exotic mixture of innovative Americana and unconventional Christianity. Indeed, while Mormon teachers speak increasingly of "Mormon Christianity," most Christians would blanch at the actual theology. Mormon history states that Joseph Smith founded the church in Fayette, New York, in 1830 after being directed by the angel Moroni to unearth a set of inscribed golden plates.

When he was particularly upset with an unfavorable call, however, Weaver would stow the four-letter words and calmly ask the offending umpire, "Are you going to get any better, % or is this it?" The same question (and the identical implied answer) could be asked of Bill Clinton when it comes to the President's feeble and often feckless foreign policy. In fact, experts have been asking it for months, but "it's getting heavy now," concedes a senior...
...future wife Yvonne after he went AWOL from army camp. It finds its most complete form in Boyd's painting of Adam and Eve, 1947-48, their bodies like a pair of white tubers, embracing in an Eden that is also the Australian bush, while a huge patriarchal angel glares inquisitively at them from behind a tree and a curly horned ram -- the libido in Boyd's iconography -- stares back...
