...Kirov Ballet, considered the finest classical troupe in the world. No other company in this century has produced talent as profligately as the Kirov, and certainly no foreign company has had so strong an influence on American dance. Pavlova, whose ceaseless touring virtually introduced ballet to the U.S.; Balanchine, creator of many of this century's choreographic masterpieces; Nureyev and Makarova, who set new standards for classical style; Baryshnikov, who is probably the greatest male dancer since Nijinsky and is in the process of turning the American Ballet Theater into a major classical ensemble-all these have emerged from...
...history record that in 1967, at the height of the Viet Nam War, President Lyndon Johnson was visited several times in the White House by God. As Ronnie Dugger reports in this scrupulous, generally disapproving account of the 36th President's rise to power, the Creator would appear around 2 or 3 a.m. when Johnson received his daily reports from the U.S. embassy in Saigon.

Like his creator, who played Grigory Zinoviev in Reds, Domostroy at the height of his popularity once played "a Russian composer in an epic Hollywood film...
...this, his 26th play. The primary problem is the character of Alistair, who is, despite appearances, the center around which everything turns: he is, the author seems to be saying, the country's true salvation-if he can be made angry enough. Unfortunately, his passivity defeats even his creator, and his belated transformation from mouse to man at Armageddon Bridge seems more like a miracle than an authentic development of character. Beautifully performed, expertly produced and directed by the playwright, Way Upstream is Ayckbourn at his most provocative, but not at his best. -By Gerald Clarke
