...without answering this question about his character Woyzeck. The play stands as a skeleton, a series of 27 sketches which can be ordered to create either a clinical analysis or a predetermined tragic play. Although director Glen Bouchard has cut five scenes from the original manuscript and rearranged others, the Quincy House Theatricals' production of Woyzeck fails to arrive at a clear interpretation. The production opens with a socially oppressed Woyzeck, the constant object of his captain's moral lessons and his doctor's pointless experiments. But a few scenes later the director abruptly shifts his emphasis by showing...
...drunken critic friend rails against hard-working Australians who will accept any old pay and have reduced him to writing for the Radio Times. A young woman (Jacqueline Pearce) with a manuscript in tow strips to the waist, brazenly daring Simon to ravish and, of course, publish her. Finally, his parched-for-love wife announces that she is pregnant, possibly by a man whom Simon despises.

Ultimately these intertwined fantasies knot themselves into a dilemma: the ghost of a Jewish poet orders her to choose between the "Creator or the creature. God or god. The Name of Names or Apollo." She chooses the Greek divinity and instantly becomes...
...eulogistic message sent by Tania after the holocaust sounded to Singer-because of its phrasing-as though it had been composed by Emily Harris. Singer also said that Emily and her husband William Harris had concocted portions of the "Tania interview," a lengthy question-and-answer manuscript that the trio had been preparing for use in a book about the S.L.A. During the interview, Patty called her parents "rich pigs" and told how, far from being forced to join the S.L.A., she had actually had to persuade some of the terrorists to accept her. ("After only a couple of weeks...
