...less impressively, but follows Schwartz's intricate stage directions to good effect. Randy Lindel, who plays Steckel, a town oaf, is often tiresome in his buffoonery: his eating scene at the beginning of the third act, however, is a wonderful replica of Squire Western's gluttony in Tom Jones. Lucian Russel, as Odario, sprinkles an appalling covetousness into the otherwise romantic script, grabbing for jewels and selling his lovely daughter. Randy Pyle, who plays the ghost of Steckel's father, conveys slightly more the circus clown parodying Hamlet than the spectre, although he fits both parts equally well...

...isle where only 14 volunteers are stationed, the local paper paid the Peace Corps its highest compliment. Said the Voice of St. Lucia: "When the Peace Corps first landed in St. Lucia, there was skepticism behind the welcoming speeches.

Thompson, who plays Oakapple's foster brother, Richard Dauntless, makes the most of one of Gilbert's few comic lyric tenor roles, and achieves a creditable hornpipe. So too, does Mr. Edward Schmookler, the villainous Sir Despard Murgatroyd (Oak apple's real brother, if you get what I mean). Schmookler is got up to resemble Mr. Hyde, and he rubs his hands, rolls his eyes, and flashes...
