...best stories is Edward and God, about a young teacher who pretends to great holiness in order to seduce a churchly girl. It gets him hi trouble with his atheistic school directress, whom he must thereupon seduce. Equally as good is Symposium, a pants-off bow to Plato, which follows several male doctors, a woman doctor and a nurse through a nightlong rigadoon. Everyone is feeling randy, and each soul present, though perfectly satisfied that he knows what is happening, is in fact calamitously mistaken about who wants to do what to whom...

Both Coe and Mann are pleased with the growing recognition of Radcliffe dramatic talent which large-scale production of The Bull Only Gets the Matador Once in a Lifetime represents, but also feel what Mann symbolizes as, "I don't want to be thought of as a directress; I am a director."

...their films, they were introduced to press and public, and put through the excruciating ordeal of the impromptu question-answer period. Well, the press and public don't ask very intelligent questions these days, so the results were limited at best. We learned, for instance, that Agnes Varda, directress of "Le Bonheur" and "Les Creatures," is a very clever woman with a wicked sense of humor, but we hardly learned whether Agnes Varda has anything to say about film-making...

...Loeb Experimental Theatre is an ideal home for Strindberg's Miss Julie. The small stage, half-enclosed by the audience, provides the intimacy that Strindberg felt was needed for a sensitive performance of the play. Working from this solid structural foundation, directress Marsha Hutchinson has captured brilliantly the wide range and staccato alternation of moods that mark the degeneration of Julie, a Swedish noblewoman...
