...telling. You have to make eye contact with this wonderful ensemble of actors; the pregnant or averted glances they exchange constitute a geometry of tangled passions. JoBeth Williams can say more by directing her big sad eyes off-screen than volumes of Emily Dickinson; in Mary Kay Place's squint is the weather-beaten humor of a career woman who wants an emergency jolt of motherhood; William Hurt's eyes move like restless laser beams; Tom Berenger's search the room in masked desperation, trying to crib emotions from his quicker, less guarded friends.

...Renard the choreography this time by Richard Dickinson is simple and sure. Its few gestures toward stylization sit a trifle uneasily on Jeanne Jones as Persephone, who looks exactly like a China shepherdess; she also looks a little time like she's watching herself in a minor and her voice errs by a fraction of a timber towards stiffness. But Gide's beautiful words gradually enable her to relax her delivery and precise ensemble work by the nymphs further softens the effects...

...certain to find le mot juste at Schoenhof's on Mass. Ave. (though soon to move to the basement of a Harvard finals club). Can't read another language?

If your taste runs more to Dickinson than Danish, head around to Grolier Book Shop on Plympton St. Grolier expounds the karma of poetry hang around to catch occasional readings, book parties for modern day Petrarch as well as the Square's most extensive poetry collection...
