...stage classic takes place in the timeless litter and scatter of academia: the lives and living room of a middle-aged New England university history professor and his slightly older wife. George (Robert Ayres) and Martha (Lynne Moulton) return at 2 a.m., sloshed, from yet another faculty get-together hosted by the president of the college--Martha's father...

...lights go red and "Thunder," choreographedby Charles Moulton, begins with the entrance ofdancers outrageously painted and costumed with amedieval flair. An interesting but terribly oddpiece, it features Elizabeth Parkinson leading agroup of pelvic-thrusting dancers scrambling andflinging each other around the stage. Althoughthis segment is more mine than dance, "Thunder" isat its best during the highly choreographedinstances when the uninhibited dancers execute afast-paced and dramatic range of movements.

Every facialexpression of hers deepens...

The results vary in quality, but the whole evening reflects an enthusiastic effort to marry the discipline of the barre with the demon energy of the dance...

Moulton, on the other hand, establishes himself on the corner right away. Thunder/Purple Rain is a variant on the familiar sex-and-salvation theme. Elizabeth Parkinson plays a sort of fairy who transforms bystanders into lovers with a wand crowned, rather like a car's hood ornament, by a heart. Unfortunately, Moulton makes the song Purple Rain into a dismal solo that looks arduous to dance and provides...
