...characters' antics. Though all of the parts they play are similarly ridiculous, the ability of the three actors to cover in one form or another the pantheon of Shakespearean roles without becoming excessively confused is no small feat. Amblad goes from flight attendant, to especially silly Romeo, to a Martha Stewart-esque "Titus Androgynous" running a cooking show with a revenge theme, where the main ingredient is the rapist. His approach to the reductionist difficulties of "head pie" has all the confidence and self-possession one would expect of the woman herself. Opposite him in this scene is Green, with...

Things began to look up after the Bach with the Boston premiere of composer-conductor Andre Previn's Sonata Vineyard, named so because it was composed just after Previn and his wife bought a home on Martha's Vineyard in 1994. The sonata is a turbulent, impassioned work that seems almost schizophrenic in its frenetic metric upheaval, alternation of fast and slow and its jagged leaping between notes, and thus the overly-vigorous attacks that seemed so out of place in Bach seem most appropriate here. The piece obviously requires the attentions of a virtuoso, and Shaham...
