...Pinter's silences and manipulation of tempo are crucial--they illuminate the dark spaces behind his terse, economical language, convey the Matchseller's power over Edward, and express (in The Dwarfs) Len's isolation and the abyss into which his attempts at communication disappear. Edward and Flora's stream of consciousness babble must be broken by pauses if we are to understand how he comes to destroy himself and dies a symbolic death, while she rediscovers herself and finds a new life...
...Dwarfs, Mark Creatura's hyperactive portrayal of Len makes a farce out of the man's search for identity, obscuring Pinter's statements on the problems of self-identification and the perception of external realities. Len's passage through mental collapse and into maturity often seems crazed and unreal. And although his two friends are effectively played by Steven Naifeli and Christopher Chase, the production fails to express the dynamically changing relationship between the three men. It also fails to illuminate Len's intriguing responses, emphasized at each turning point in the relationship by the invasion of the dwarfs into...

...bigger by half than a football field, weighs 1 ½ tons and is constructed like a sail to weather all winds. It was Betsy Rossed in the loft of Marblehead, Mass., Yachtsman-Sailmaker Ted Hood. The grand notion, costing $45,000, was conceived by Len Silverfine, 39, a teacher in Vermont, whose father was a Russian immigrant, and Pierre Leduc, 34, a French-Canadian advertising man from Montreal. The Arm & Hammer baking soda people provided most of the financing; the flag's acre and a half of bunting with 11-ft. stars was supplied by New Jersey...
