...explain the French negative. The top piece of bread represents the ne, the filling the the bottom piece of bread the pas. Remember the sandwich." chirps Dawn reminding the viewer to use ne and pas and keep them apart. To teach the French possessive RTF uses a song-and-mime team called the Frères Jacques, who pretend to be burglars tirelessly dividing loot à moi; à toi, à toi, à lui, until even a Kansas City house dick would get the idea. Hachette teaches the future tense in a setting where any other tense would...
...production-which resembles an oratorio in form-ran into trouble only be cause its diverse elements-orchestral music, song, narration, mime and dance-never quite had the chance to demonstrate their virtues in a massive production crammed into 21 minutes.

Edmund Hennessy, on the other hand, did away with every sort of restraint in his nervous, grimacing portrayal of Mycetes, the effete King of Perisa. Hennessy was terribly funny, but his evident talent as a mime deserves more direction that it got. Now and then a gesture would jibe with a line. However, for the most part, he wasted a lot of inspired movements that distracted attention from the Marlowe and riveted it on his own plastic face...
