...there's an ethereal procession of dancers dressed as parti-colored birds. The avian stagecraft is not the only thing linking two complementary productions that have enlivened New York City's traditionally slow summer season. James Lapine's Twelve Dreams is a straight play that feels like a musical; Graciela Daniele's Chronicle of a Death Foretold is a musical that often feels like a straight play. Both appear under the aegis of Lincoln Center (though the first is off-Broadway, the second on). And both are smart, surrealistic and visually entrancing...

Now, for Pulitzer prizewinner Beth Henley, the starting place is Costa Mesa, Calif. For Emmy winner Luis Santeiro, it is Miami. For three-time Tony nominee Graciela Daniele, it is Philadelphia. And for Donald Freed, whose Circe and Bravo was a London success, it is Denver. Three of the Broadway season's major plays -- Eastern Standard, The Heidi Chronicles and Largely New York -- originated in Seattle, while Neil Simon's Rumors and A.R. Gurney's off-Broadway...
