Anyway, BBA is not the holding action Beck claims his two previous bands were. They are new to each other, though, and their Boston show Tuesday last opened with a vague feeling of indirection.

An oddly placid Colleen Dewhurst makes Gertrude seem more the painted than the panting queen. Barnard Hughes' Polonius is the traditional chalk-dust didactician, but Kitty Winn's mad scene does not come a moment too soon for an Ophelia who makes one wonder what Hamlet ever...
