...happiness, Sellars does not neglect the dense psychology of the play. In a flash of inspiration, Sellars enlisted Roy Kogan '80, to play Chopin preludes and nocturnes throughout Three Sisters. Kogan's forceful and sensitive musical interpretation adds new emotional dimension. Kogan and Sellars have obviously collaborated to fuse the music with the staging to intensify or soothe the action. In the opening of Act III, as a huge fire rages throught the town and the family's restrained tensions burst into open conflict, Kogan pounds a demonic prelude, forcing the actors to scream out their anger and pain...
...fuse under the China-Viet Nam explosion had been sputtering for nearly a year. Last spring, intent on consolidating their purer-than-thou socialist revolution, the Vietnamese authorities decided to root out "bourgeois trade" and "dangerous elements," namely ethnic Chinese who had lived for years in northern mining areas, in Danang and in the bustling Cholon district of Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City).

Harry's too-coy but lovable cover of the oldie "Denise" just didn't sound right next to the empty, brutal "Detroit 442" or "Cautious...
...shared their pain. Turgenev fired off comic volleys that riddle his provincial characters' vanity and pretension; but when his people bleed, he casts a cold and worldly eye upon the scene. In Chekhov, longing is the arrow of love, usually un requited; in Turgenev, idle fantasy is the fuse of sex, equally unrequited. Boredom is a palpable force in Chekhov, more of an indifferent landscape in Turgenev...
