...last spring Judge East ordered crack Portland Lawyer Manley D. Strayer to represent Dillon, and the lawyer, toiling in Dillon's behalf, spent 108 hours of his usually high-priced time during a rehearing at which Dillon was resentenced. Federal rules being what they are, Strayer did not expect a penny...
Philip Bosco exhibits the clarity of diction we have come to expect of him, but it cannot be said that his King Claudius is one of his better portrayals. He does not seem at all royal. Murderer he may be, but Claudius is also an undeniably efficient administrator. In the Play Scene, he gives no signs of paying attention to what is going on until his cue to break the party up.

But for the work to emerge on stage as tragedy, it would require performances in the title role and surrounding parts of such delicate adjustment and balance as I can only barely conceive. I have never seen or read of such a production (Olivier's did not come close). No--why not admit it?--Richard III, like Titus Andronicus, is not a tragedy...
