...Latin America's magic realists, she has a singular talent for producing full- scale representational portraits with comic surreal touches. Her rendering of the Trueba patriarch Esteban and his wife Clara is a hilarious display of mismatching. While the crude, commonsensical Esteban is doomed by nature to cause constant offense to his wife, Clara the Clairvoyant irritates her spouse by her perpetual whispered concourse with the spirits...

From his excellent bedside miming during the overture to his constant reincarnations throughout the course of his pupil's bizarre encounters with fate, Tolin's Voltaire exudes a special acceptance of life that his students have yet to learn. Tolin's transitions from character to character are very smooth, and his voice reveals his vibrant guidance of the story's frequently unbelievable...
