...brink of a 100-ft. precipice. Barnaby strikes back with some toxic toadstools-Uncle precautiously checks the mushroom sauce. Uncle surrounds Barnaby and Chrissie with a wall of fire-rain puts the fire out. Barnaby plops a tarantula on Uncle's chest-the spider falls happily asleep on Uncle's neck. The spider, as a matter of fact, is the only performer who manages to steal a scene from Actor Green, who comes across as the most stylish blackguard since Cyril Ritchard, as Captain Hook, got gobbled up by that slimy green clockodile...

When, after the battle at Philippi, Lucius is carried in, lain on the ground and tenderly shrouded in a blanket, one is more moved than by the death of any of the play's principals...
...guides are screwed into place and steel electrodes are jabbed through the guides, as far as two inches into the brain, to make a special kind of electroencephalogram (EEC). The electrodes are left in place for three weeks or so, and repeated EEGs are taken-when the patient is asleep, during a spontaneous seizure, or when the doctors induce a seizure with a drug or electricity. The position of the implanted electrodes is changed if necessary. Then, after the offending part of the brain is accurately located...
