...abounds in Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater Company revival of Balm in Gilead, the Lanford Wilson dope opera that was first produced in 1965. The set may depict a grungy, all-night coffee shop on Manhattan's Upper West Side, but it soon takes on the sulfurous glow of the lower depths: a rush-hour subway car, say, some time during World War III. Junkies, hookers, drag queens, derelicts, ganefs and hit men rub up against Joe (Danton Stone) and Darlene (Laurie Metcalf), a couple too amiable or dense to survive the Nighttown scene till morning.

ERENDIRA The dreamscape of a Gabriel García Márquez story is like the vision of a Chagall on peyote. Violence and magic live there, in a desert village that holds the secret to every folktale and human atrocity. There a rose can glow in the dark, an orange open to reveal a diamond in its center, a paper butterfly take flight and land against a wall, fresh and flat as new paint.
