But from the hard lessons they are learning in the lean years, they will be ready to ride the next big wave of world shipbuilding to solid profits. In the meantime, says Götaverken's Managing Director Hilding Nielsen: "We have to build big if we are to survive...
...blame the actors in the current Charles Playhouse production if from time to time they seem to give up the battle. Still, Stephen Elliott, who plays the central role of Macheath, might show a little more fighting spirit. His performance gives scant indication that Mackie is basically "a lean man, a mean man."
