Joseph Bova plays the tippling Sir Toby broadly but effectively. At his first entrance he noisily trips on the stairs coming up from the cellar (the wine-cellar, no doubt), and spends most of the play inebriated, at one point even trying to mount Maria the servant right on the kitchen table. Mary Louise Wilson is the amusing Maria...
Robert Murch (Sir Toby) and Michael Tolaydo (Orsino) do little more than get through their lines, though Mary Doyle wins a few points for her Maria. Making his professional debut here is Peter Francis-James, doubling the supporting roles of Valentine and an Officer. Though these offer little opportunity, it is at least apparent that Francis-James has learned to speak quite beautifully at the Royal Academy in London, where he played Orsino. I wish he had been entrusted with the role here...
...Sheed dossiers combine straight biographical facts with opinionated, often blunt assessments. And some spice. Pericle Felici, 66, the "ruthless" front-running candidate on the right, is said to use a telephoto lens to monitor Pope Paul's movements about his palace.

"Have you opened all your wedding gifts?" he asks the newlywed Kennedys in 1953. He then goes on to stock questions that permit the young Senator to rattle off his policy positions by rote. Murrow...
...cries. Boston, unfortunately, does not really have an elevated, except for the small part of the Orange Line which passes over Washington St., but if you try, you can gain some sense of satisfaction for your Cambridge-weary blood. No, you may not be Marlon Brando, or even Maria Schneider, but if you want to get away from Cambridge, your best bet is to take the Red line out to Park St., and then hitch up with the Orange, Blue or Green Lines, to begin your odyssey...
