...another recent police incident, the trial of an Arlington man charged with robbing Ashley Simpson, a summer school student, with a fake pistol begins today at Middlesex County's Third District Court...
...some small pieces and came up with Four Chamber Works, a winner, even though it has a rough start. Musically, Septet is a droning harangue, and Robbins' setting looks like a Balanchine copybook. The most ambitious sequence is a pas de trois for three very strong dancers, Merrill Ashley, Sean Lavery and Mel Tomlinson. Sleek, vigorous, boldly plastic, it is a kind of message to portentous choreographers like Glen Tetley and Choo San Goh that in their lengthy constructs one might discover a really good six-minute ballet...

To determine whether Agnes (Amanda Plummer) is fit to stand trial for the murder, the court appoints a psychiatrist, Dr. Martha Livingstone (Elizabeth Ashley), to examine her.

Her co-stars are almost as riveting: Page, at once the fussy authoritarian and mischievouse child; Ashley, making her role more urgent by playing it post-Talllulah, with traffic-cop gestures and a sexy voice that can break in mid-syllable like a Fernando Valenzuela screwball. If Agnes of God just fails as an example of the playwright's craft, it shines as a demonstration...
