...side back to reveal the interiors. For the several important scenes in Olivia's garden, not only is there a potted palm at the far edge of the stage, but the wall of her house wings out to become a trellis covered with oranges and greenery, punctuated by three oval holes through which is Toby, Sir Andrew and Fabian can stick their heads to spy and comment on Malvolio's famous Letter Scene.

Kuhn creates another kind of mask-that of the silent, sad clown-and makes it a vision of man turned into useless performer, while Albright excoriates the self in his wrinkly "And God Created Man in His Own Image." Unrelated by style or influence, each artist nonetheless portrays man in the early Depression years as a desperate creature searching...
