...precedented reason--lack of interference. In the last year or so the BSC has done a fair amount of experimenting with the different ways a director can mangle a script in the interests of originally; their director's Romeo and Juliet was set mysteriously and superfluously in modern-day Belfast, and Bill Coe's Memlet offered the truly creative line-reading "To be, or not?... To be!" But now the fever seems to have broken. Caesar, which will run repertory with Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, demonstrates the virtues of an almost lost art: the straight reading...

And where does he decide to do that but in Belfast, which needs another high-risk enterprise as much as it needs one more car bombing. The decision is baffling. Oh, one can argue that here was Black Jack De Lorean going against the tide again, betting other people's money and his life on the American rich getting richer and flocking to their very own indigenous Mercedes. But from the viewpoint of business horse sense, of which De Lorean is said to have...
