...Language merely allows the audience to find the rhythm in the character movements," he said, adding, "Music and visual images are the highest form of art, and these should convey what the characters are feeling...
Shirley Wilbur as Lily provides most of the play's humor. Her cackling laugh and marvelous expression convey her character's wifty lunacy. Everything she knows she has learned from television; she rants and raves about the savagery of the Third World as she plans to boil her husband "like a lobster--lobsters don't feel pain."

As Donna Anna, whose father Giovanni killed after failing to seduce the daughter, Anita Ashur conveys brilliantly her character's maniacal desire for revenge through her vibrantly loud voice. Ashur's clearly enunciated voice has a spectacular range, and even during songs with the ensemble, her voice stands...
