...ballet unfolds. The still microscopic sphere divides into two, then four, then eight parts. Soon after, individual cells begin an extraordinary trek across this globe of living matter. Some dive deep into the core, where < they give rise to the intestinal tract. Others bunch along the surface, forming a hollow tube -- one end of which buds into a brain. Somehow every cell knows its place and fulfills its destinyas heart, bone, blood and sinew weave together into a single, organic whole...

In Miami, she adds, Cuban exiles went on the radio to urge their island brethren to stay...
Havel reads extremely well in translation, and neither Tom Stoddard's English version nor Rouse's production lose the author's nascent sarcasm. Fraught with cliche, the play seems to make fun of the postmodern genre it places itself in; in Rouse's interpretation, the language surfaces with such hollow force that we can easily imagine that Leopold's books must read like the non sensical phrases of the artist/critic Mark Tansey's "Wheel...
