...than one who was old and deaf. Perhaps the fact that Gabrial has so many speeches--which could possibly be read as internal monologues--led them to this. At any rate, Dobal comes across as exactly what he is--a 20-year-old actor with silver paint in his hair. He doesn't convey enough of the decrepitude or pathos inherent in Gabriel's character. In a key scene with Serge at the end, however, he manages to expand into his role, and that helps forgive much of his performance...
...desserts up until 1 a.m. on weekend nights. It's one of the few places in that part of town open so late, and it's a natural stop after a night on the town--try it out. Small theaters, cinemas, and discos by night and art galleries, hair cutters, and outrageously expensive boutiques by day provide great entertainment...
...FEMALE leads fare better. Andrea Eisenberg as Natalie Yellowbud is disarmingly charming. Eisenberg is the perfect airhead, from the flower-in-the-hair Nature's Child look to the shit-eating grin.

Her solo number "I'm a Bitch" is probably the best of the evening...

They were undeniably powerful, particularly in the hair-raising scene in which Lulu guns down Schon on an enormous staircase. They were also brutal and at times faintly ludicrous, like some bad dream by Albert Speer...
...novel, Members of the Tribe, and in Simple Justice, documenting the 1954 Supreme Court decision on school segregation, the legal system has been an inspiring force for Richard Kluger. His latest novel, Star Witness, traces the life and crimes of Feminist Lawyer Tabor Hill. A woman with a hair-trigger wit, she could give lessons in politics to Machiavelli. An affair with a judge, a partnership in an exclusive firm, legal aid to the poor-she does it all, and she does it well. So does Kluger, who knows the layout of the corridors of small-city power down...
