Paolo Carozza's Ernest, by contrast, lacks some of the necessary dash. Whether this is inherent in the part or not, he is, unfortunately, upstaged by Algernon. As Jack's beloved Gwendolyn, Anne Higgins is marvelously coy, delivering her studied and empty superlatives with necessary aplomb...

That punch line sets off a howl of laughter in the Budapest cabaret Vidám Szinpad, where audiences flock to see Go Hungarians, a comedy revue with a heavy dash of political seasoning. In the nearly three decades since Soviet tanks crushed the 1956 uprising, Hungary has learned to live and prosper just within the limits of what Moscow will tolerate. Budapest presents ample evidence of the cautious changes that have made Hungary's 11 million people the most Westernized and best fed in the Soviet bloc...
