...Hatter. Adolfo started at the top, with hats. Now 36, the Cuban-born designer came to the U.S. 17 years ago after a short-lived apprenticeship ("picking up pins" is how he describes it) with Paris Couturier Balenciaga. He checked into a job in the millinery department of Manhattan's Bergdorf Goodman. Six months later he checked out of Bergdorf's and into the hat firm Emme as chief designer.

He disgraced himself at Oxford by going to a fancy dress ball as a raven and voiding a pint of whitewash from his tail in front of the Prince of Wales.

...game at Elsinore is more ominous. Seen through Hamlet's eyes, which is the angle of vision Shakespeare has imposed on Hamlet, the play has a purpose. But seen through the eyes of R. and G., Elsinore is a maze of cross-purposes and Hamlet is a Mad Hatter. They smell the death and disaster around them and wistfully hope to escape, but where to?
