...would be the group of people which smiled more! The chorus of ostensible witches is, of course, the same which minutes before played a group of cherubic courtiers and flower girls. The actors seem to be relying on the black cloaks which partially cover their usual white robes to convey the transformation of their characters. They certainly don't act any differently, or smile any less. They do, however, make lots of silly ghost sounds and giggly cackles. They hiss a great deal, as well, as they bound about the stage, apparently carrying out very complex, though incomprehensible, choreography. Unfortunately...

...most difficult roles for a young actress is that of Laura in Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie. The shy, crippled girl at the center of the play, Laura is as fragile as the glass figurines of animals she collects. To portray her effectively, an actress must convey her vulnerability without making her seem pitiable and tiresome.
