That is the effect that solo dancing should have. When it worked in this performance, it was usually because Elaine Bauer danced Princess Aurora (she alternated in the title role with Laura Young and Durine Alinova). Elegant, long-limbed and lean as a grasshopper, Bauer is easily the finest ballerina Boston's got. She is not a great dancer: the flow of near-perfect form is missing, and sometimes she moves with an awkward detachment from her body, hands and feet stiff as saucers.

They face a grim period simply remaining intact in Lebanon. If terror helps them to keep their cause alive, then terror is thought to be justified...
...murder-mystery thriller is a theatrically endangered species. Seasons go by without one, and there have been seven lean years since the last dandy scalp tingler, Sleuth. Deathtrap is a congenial successor-literate, amusing, booby-trapped with scarifying surprises, a brimming tumbler of arsenic and Schweppes...
