...rectitudinous Angelo (Brian Bedford). As the lordly duke dons monkish attire (he will seem to be a friar), he implies that he is testing Angelo: "Hence shall we see,/ If power change purpose, what our seemers be." Initially, Angelo acts as severely as we would expect. He condemns Claudio (Stephen Macht) to be executed for the crime of fornication. When Claudio's novitiate sister Isabella (Martha Henry) comes to plead for her brother's life in the white flowing garb of a nun, Angelo proves not to be what he seems...
Born in Brooklyn, Ornstein was a two-time citywide high school math champion and wavered between physics and poetry before compromising on psychology at Queens College. He got his doctorate at Stanford, writing his thesis on the perception of time; later he collaborated with Psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo on a book called On the Psychology of Meditation. Ornstein is currently at work on seven more books. He is also teaching at the U.C. Medical Center in San Francisco, lecturing, traveling and organizing symposia on the nature of consciousness. A bachelor, he tools around in a hot orange Porsche 914 and lives...
...peculiar situation when over 1000 people fill a church to hear a deeply religious work conforming to the strictest theological orthodoxy.

Monteverdi's exuberant celebration of the festival of the Virgin Mary outrageously flaunts Puritan restraint...
...which claims a worldwide membership, is convinced that the comet is an omen of disaster and is directly predicting doomsday ("Forty days," warns the group's leader "Moses David" Berg, and "Nineveh shall be destroyed!"). A different alarm is sounded by the Italian parapsychologist Astaroth, 52 (real name: Claudio Giannantonio), who counsels members of the Rome political and movie set. Astaroth explains that comets disrupt the "psychomagnet-ic equilibrium" of the planetary system. He adds: "Human beings will be drawn to commit acts of violence-not only singly but collectively." In McFarland, Wis., the self-proclaimed head...
...Claudio is an ordinary, weak man-in-the-street, caught with his pants down: he is just about the only believable person in the play. Shakespeare was remiss in giving him only a couple of lines in the second half of the work, and, when he finally turns up alive after being reported dead, in having him and his sister Isabella say nary a word to each other. In the present production, however, this is just as well. Richard Backus '67, who was so fine recently in the Harvard Summer School Repertory troupe's Ah. Wilderness! and in Promenade...
