...Natividad, a known homosexual, came to the U.S. illegally in the late 1940s. They both won U.S. resident-alien permits, however, and began to prosper. Juan became a contractor who assembled work gangs before dawn and delivered them to the local orchards; Natividad bought the seedy but popular Guadalajara Cafe in Marysville. Juan was unhinged by the Feather River flood of December 1955, which killed 40 people...
Anti-Church Mélange. O'Horgan, who honed his free-flowing, choreographic style of staging at off-off-Broadway's Cafe La Mama and in the productions of Tom Paine, Futz and most famously Hair, emerges in Lenny as one of the top directors of the U.S. theater. He manages to meld Bruce's sleazy world of one-night stands, his marital hopes and horrors, his helpless, raging entanglement in the courts, and even his vaulting fantasies into a fluid continuum up, down and around the multilevel stage. Lenny was a microphone man; mikes perpetually...
...neatly divided the town of Eldritch into the good guys and the bad, the well-socialized pillars of the community against the outcasts, cripples, and those with, as he puts it, "deformed minds."

"Coronel" Sanlers has made his debut treating Cuernavaca to Real Kentucky Fried Chicken at his new concession snuggled between Burger Boy and the snappy Cafe Universal, the weather has grown hotter and the Easter Weck crowds have come and gone. None of these things are surprising. American cultural expansion, hot weather and the passing...
...other increasingly depressing. From The Zoo Story through The American Dream to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, he displayed great gusto, waspish humor and feral power. In the succeeding nine years, he has foundered in murky metaphysics (Tiny Alice), dabbled in adaptations (The Ballad of the Sad Cafe) and gone down experimental blind alleys (Box-Mao-Box). Instead of lunging for the jugular, as he once did, Albee has cultivated a Jamesian languor in his prose, a fastidious dandyism of manner, a dusty, librarefied reserve. Portentousness of delivery is used to mask vacuity of thought. In his latest...
