...good thing he does. Peter Hirsch, who plays the batty resident named Renfield, yields the best performance in the play.

Through their use of MTV-style pacing, voice-overs and quick-flash graphics, many of the spots require multiple viewings before a viewer can sort out the hostile charges. Seen for the first time, these...
