...over which they confess their hidden better selves. These confessional arias are what they have always been in Williams, eloquent trib utes to the English tongue and moving explorations of the human spirit. This is not to say that Small Craft Warnings is on a par with the durable canon of his finest plays. Here he reminds us of the size and scope of his genius, but dis plays it diminuendo.

Last week, for a change, the archbishop was experiencing ecclesiastical complications. At the annual synod of the Cypriot hierarchy, three bishops invoked a canon law-unused for at least a hundred years-forbidding bishops to hold church and state posts simultaneously. They moved that Makarios resign the presidency...
