...water in the East River off Manhattan in 1780 laden with a cargo of gold that some experts estimate to be worth $500 million. Clifford has been granted an initial exploration permit for the Hussar by New York State, and expects to begin probing the river's treacherous five-knot currents and polluted water this week...
...while away our time with a game of twenty questions, the knot between good acting and good lighting is tightening onstage. Nick Lawrence, Andrew Sullivan, and Naama Potok--as Prospero, Ferdinand, and Miranda, respectively--are already confident in their roles, consistently delivering fine performances.

It has produced only two new American plays that are still running. Add two London imports and three revivals--one of which, Blood Knot, closes this week--and there you have it: the total of non- musical survivors on the Great Gray Way.
