...mostly faithful to the original version of the play. The director, Patrick Swanson, lets his actors and the script go to work. The play revels in its stripped-down production; the small stage is adorned only with light bulbs placed around the edge of the performance area, which convey the magical nature of the island. Most of the actors do an excellent job of portraying their characters’ feelings and development. Mara Sidmore is particularly convincing as Miranda, progressing from spoiled brat at the opening to young woman in love by the end. Unfortunately, Swanson fails to reign...
...defining moment of Accelerate, and perhaps the defining moment of whatever R.E.M. goes on to become from here, takes place a few seconds into the fourth song, Hollow Man. At the band's peak, Stipe's lyrics conveyed emotions with an abstraction summed up in a line from Losing My Religion: "Oh no I've said too much."

...list of grievances against an ambivalent God. Yet again, the finger of blame points at Cave, who seems to bring down the song’s misery around himself (with bizarre imagery like “myxomatoid kids”); his wandering mind can’t quite convey his intended points (“Prolix! Prolix! / Nothing a pair of scissors can’t fix!”). The music built around this communicative breakdown is vaudevillian and full of overlong, hyperbolic verses that drop without warning into heaps of hissing chaos, only to begin again in spotty...
