...accentuate the distinction between a humanized George III and his puppet-like court. While most actors are fittingly powdered, wigged and decked up in period costumes, the king is shown alternatively in a nightgown or a straightjacket, with hair awry. The image of the mad king is an obvious echo of King Lear; the analogy between the two scenarios being played up in this production. In dcor, effects and characterization, Hood manages to convey his vision of Bennett's play as a story as epic and dramatically versatile as King Lear, but twice...

A California judge issued a similar...
...away, two pianists playing the same chords in different registers, percussionists plugging away on maracas and castanets, a full symphony string section, and underneath it all the drums of Hal Blaine ("my five favorite drummers", according to Max Weinberg) piped through the galactic dimensions of the Gold Star Studios echo chamber...
