...raked set, a recreation of the ship which actually "sinks", is as intriguing as a toy in a shop window, and is a visual complement to the child-like gleefulness of this very adult play. Sound elements, such as the ironic "Victory at Sea" entrance music and the incongruous barnyard sound-effects playing off-stage add a witty undercurrent to the action of the play...

Clinton praised the Senate, but much of the action in the vaunted upper chamber was downright embarrassing. Among the notable lows: New York's Al D'Amato singing a barnyard song to rally the opposition. Expect a vote on the crime bill tomorrow or Saturday...
