...that one of the brothers (needless to say, no one knows which) is really the King of Barataria, who was stolen away as a baby. Both men are rushed off to the palace by the Machiavellian Grand Inquisitor, who has been hurried into action by the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro. It seems that their daughter Casilda was married in infancy to the young King and they now want her to take her rightful place as Queen. Casilda, meanwhile, is secretly in love with the Duke's servant, Luis, whose mother is (of course) the former...
...that too has raised concern. The company pays millions of dollars to the coaches and athletic programs of at least 60 colleges -- including Georgetown, Michigan and Seton Hall -- in order to be the exclusive supplier of the players' shoes. Last week Nike was negotiating a deal to pay Duke's coach, Mike Krzyzewski, a reported $1 million bonus and $375,000 a year.

The Duke,, especially when disguised as the friar, appears several flights short of the attic, losing some of the sinister edge to his character. Sinister transformations abound in Alan Ackerman's portrait of Angelo. The upright moralist degenerates into nymphomaniac with an anguish that would evoke sympathy from the most severe judge. Breheny's wide eyed innocence at the start of the drama captures the virginal Isabella perfectly.. But her maiden- in- distress scenes later on lack the same dramatic conviction...
