...sense of strain and anxiety lingered ominously. Banks and government offices were open, but workers and shoppers who normally thronged the downtown streets of Nairobi (pop. about 970,000) were rushing for home by midafternoon to observe a dusk-to-dawn curfew, leaving the city center a ghost town. Blocks of shops in the downtown area were boarded up, concealing the shattered windows and vacant shelves left behind by an orgy of looting. Occasionally, sprawled corpses could be seen on city streets, evidence that a tough government crackdown was still in progress in one of black Africa's most...
...loyal Horatio, Stephen Lang is, like his two immediate predecessors on these boards, passable but bland--a far cry from the exemplary Horatio that Earle Hyman gave us here in 1958. In a traditional doubling, Michael Allinson is effective both as the possibly angelic, possibly diabolic Ghost (supported by amplified heartbeats) and as the First Player.

Delightfully coarse and direct, Pete "was asked by a New York Timesman if he knew much about Cobb. "I know everything about him but the size of his hat" was the quote that made the paper, though that was not what he said exactly. Rose does know almost every thing about Cobb-and about Babe Ruth. "First of all, Ruth al ways wore the same white robe...
...dodge. What he does not know is that they are about to slink back. In no time, sheiks and burglars are added to the mix, along with the mandatory defrocking of women and the depantsing of men and doors popping open and slamming shut as if by the ghost of Feydeau...
