This poignant situation inspired Shakespeare for My Father, a one-woman show that is original, funny, often fascinating and profoundly neurotic, a blend of art and psychotherapy. Ostensibly a tribute to her father, the piece is really a thwarted child's cri de coeur for his love and approval, melding mostly accusatory reminiscence with chunks of Shakespeare pertinent to his career, her career or their often remote private relationship. As Redgrave performs on an all but bare stage, a shadowy portrait of her father looms behind her all the time, as if to remind her of an acting ideal...
...choral scenes are closer to Rimsky-Korsakov or Mussorgsky than they are to anything Catfish Row ever heard). With a fierce, angry and brilliant libretto by Thulani Davis, the composer's cousin, X is at once a musical entertainment, a folk epic, a cautionary tale and a cri de coeur...

The skins are the next wave...
...election day dawned, violence seemed all but inevitable. But the breadth and randomness of the bloody assaults caught Haitians and observers unprepared. At least six death squads cruised the city in unmarked cars, sowing terror. At the Sacre Coeur church, Macoutes interrupted a morning service by smashing the altar and beating two women with the butts of their machetes. One man was shot and killed while walking with his children to church. Foreign journalists soon learned to avoid a small, burgundy-colored car that spewed bullets wildly...
