Next on the program is "Four Hands," principal dancer Lazlo Berdo's choreographic masterpiece, set to sprightly Rachmaninoff works being performed live onstage by Freda Locker and Maya Isyanova. Amy Persky's costumes, again mostly consisting of stretch velvet (though black in this ballet) and artfully displaying the dancers' hands and feet, become the perfect accent for the breathtakingly intense piano music--at moments, the dancers seem to be the piano keys themselves. A fantastic lighting design by Linda O'Brien expresses the varying moods of the performance perfectly, from deliciously jazzy to achingly romantic...

Freda Rebelsky Camp, head of the B.U. chapter of the American Association of University Professors, says he runs a "sleazy, fascist regime" and dismisses his acknowledged intelligence as irrelevant: "First-rate minds can be lunatics, like Ezra Pound. It doesn't mean he should run a university...
...capable of tenderness but more comfortable as the patriarchal tyrant. He refuses to share a drink with his son (Dean Williams) or a farewell with his daughter Eileen (Angela Walsh). He beats daughter Maisie (Lorraine Ashbourne) for wanting to go to a dance, and flogs his wife (Freda Dowie), stifling even her sobs with barked threats to "Shut up!"
