...Rink, the Kander-Ebb musical that opened last week on Broadway, is set on the ragged fringe of the New York show-biz world: in a Coney Island of the mind where Anna Antonelli's roller-skating rink is about to be demolished, and with it Anna's sour memories of life with her runaway Lothario of a husband and her painfully shy daughter Angel.

One day she was approached by a woman "with lips blue from the cold," who, like Akhmatova, was waiting for news of the fate of someone in the prison...
