...winning combination--yet however lavish the praise it has garnered, a main part of this production's problems lie within the play itself. A full-scale production of it is simply too long. And even the much-touted tensile strength of its brilliant wordplay and verbosity cannot sustain such ceaseless action. Compounded with this intrinsic difficulty is director Jeff Melvoin's decision to present the play at a grinding, almost gesture-tableau pace. Muffled by the heavy directorial hand, ordered to understatement, most of the actors are left to gratuitous pouting and postured gestures. The only actor who reaches...
...security and approval he turned to an institution, the Royal Academy. Nearly all his emotional energies were displaced into his work. Its sheer volume was astounding: the British Museum alone has 19,000 watercolors, color notes and travel drawings. Turner's creativity, which rivaled Picasso's, meant ceaseless travel in search of motifs-over the Alps, around Italy, across France, throughout England. But the work remained in England. Thus the Royal Academy had a vast range of work to choose from, and it is hardly possible that a better Turner show can ever be mounted...
...Chrysler's laying off 100,000 workers is a plea for renewed trust in the American system. Senator Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.), the would-be Democratic front-runner, could set an example in this movement much finer than he has in the last few years, with ceaseless calls for shoring up the "defense" system, not to mention the Saigon government. And President Ford, Jackson's Republican counterpart, could help achieve his expressed desire to Win against inflation by withdrawing from the race as well--in fact, he could go Jackson one better, by resigning right now. Of course, even...
...every imaginable sort of enclosure, even including a real burrow with specially installed infra-red lighting and glass sides. Thus observed, the symbols of timidity are revealed as citizens in a complex social structure, full of dominant and submissive roles, populated with kings, queens and knaves. The butt of ceaseless fertility jokes turns out to be the master-or rather mistress-of birth control; when overcrowded or undernourished, the rabbit "resorbs" its embryos in utero. Adams' industrious Hazel, Fiver and Bigwig are pelt-deep fictions; in the real world, male rabbits are lallygagging drones. The does, contrary to those...
...were "artsy" sound effects. You know, "well, it's such an unsettling place, with all the different sounds and all. Let's make the soundtrack unsettling in the same way," or something to that effect. What must have been especially annoying for many members of the audience was the ceaseless repetition of a set of five short bleeps, followed by a sixth long one. The cognoscenti of course knew that those bleeps were the signal for the Israel Radio news on the hour, sounds which stopped all activity for the duration of the broadcast. But I wonder what the people...
