...they don't. The widow of a giant slain by Jack shows up to exact revenge and drives everyone back into the woods (mystical and eerie in Tony Straiges' design, spellbound in Richard Nelson's storybook-colored lighting). The threat she poses has been likened by some critics to nuclear war or AIDS; the rampant selfishness that soon erupts in the face of trouble is, the producers admit, meant as a subtle protest against the self-congratulatory individualism of the Reagan era. But with or without allusive implications, the story jolts its passive characters -- and spectators -- into a world where...
...father with a tank. A second man is told to imagine being discussed by his parents at a cocktail party; when an actress begins playing the role of his mother, he breaks down and decides to leave the cast.

To see inside the vault, technicians modified a miniature remote-controlled video camera so it could be inserted into the 3 1/2-in.-wide entrance hole.

What these revivals do display is a corps of talented Yanks who can design, direct, choreograph and perform with all the panache and pizazz of the Britons who of late have dominated the musical stage...
