...time to pray. I made a full confession before God, occasionally speaking in French and English to confuse the guards, cataloguing my good and bad deeds and begging him to have mercy on my soul. As they blindfolded me, painful bolts of fear ripped up my thighs into my groin. I had trouble controlling my legs, keeping my balance. "You bastards will burn in hell," I muttered...

...carefully selected sentences that, by explaining, defending, or indicting Humbert's obsession, make us ponder its meaning. On stage, nothing tempers the nakedness of the act; and when Albee's Lolita takes off her bathrobe to say, "Come and get it, Daddy," or buries her face in Humbert's groin, Richardson must literally draw a curtain over the scene--a comic gesture that only underscores Albee's inability to find how to stage Lolita without either ponderous moralizing or trivializing farce.

ANDREI BELGRADER'S As You Like It takes the aggressively self-confident stance that no one--not Shakespeare, not his audiences, certainly not today's audiences--could or can stomach pastoral. This production gleefully aims groin-kicks at each of the text's literary conventions, until their prone bodies threaten to outnumber the actors on stage. Whether Belgrader remains faithful to some indeterminate "author's intentions" or in fact manhandles the play for his own purposes, the final product impartially communicates the matter of Shakespeare's discourse on love, while obliquely making its own points. A deft maneuver...
