...Blakemore?s direction gives the piece a racing pulse, as if to underline that this is a comedy of duplicity. As Frayn?s classic farce ?Noises Off? showed the performance of a play on stage, then from backstage, ?Democracy? reveals the public face of Brandt?s Ostpolitik and the inner scheming of Guillaume and the other top staffers, who are loyal but scarcely more likable.

Some from Bush's inner sanctum did admit that Kerry had given a forceful speech. And high praise went to earlier performances by Kerry's daughters Vanessa and Alexandra. "They are terrific," Hughes emailed Bartlett during their appearances. "The most compelling thing from [the Democrats]." Still, all the President's men saw openings in Kerry...
