...over the company ten years ago, he has been building a formidable repertory of splendid, full-length dramatic works. Romeo and Juliet was his first success, done to the traditional Prokofiev score. Typically, Cranko stripped the story of many a nonessential, involved the whole town of Verona in the clash of families, including a market-square fight with tossed oranges.

He alone defines ambiguity in the loftiest sense. Clement & Co. founder in the lowest...
