...photograph of Irving on the cover comes from an unusual source: his wife Shyla, a freelance photographer whose work has appeared on book jackets and in galleries and national magazines. Back in 1939, TIME's cover photo of Pablo Picasso was taken by the artist's longtime mistress Dora Maar, and a 1963 cover portrait of Andrew Wyeth was painted by Wyeth's sister Henriette, but Mrs. Irving may well be the first spouse ever to provide the cover photograph of a TIME cover subject. Says she: "I'm delighted. When I took the picture...
Suicide in B-Flat is nominally concerned with the death/suicide/hoax of Niles--a Pynchon-like musician whose experimentations with sound and composition have rocketed him so far into the stratosphere that he can barely exist on the mere surface of the planet anymore. Two detectives, Louis (Christopher Randolph) and Pablo (Christian Clemenson) come in out of the mainstream and attempt to reconstruct the crime. What follows is a collage of random psychic violence and free association, philosophy and claptrap, all so intricately conceived that to follow it in any sort of literary sense is ridiculous. They talk about Shepard writing...
...floor. This outline eventually becomes almost a character in itself--a totem, sinkhole and vortex of the show--but in its opening scenes the play draws the audience in with a witty sortie into slapstick and high comedy.

Clemenson flounces through the role in grand style, with his nervous gestures and his half-exhausted grandiosity (he tires before he can really come through). His gestures become more frantic, his reasoning more strident as he is the antithesis of Louis, who prides himself...
...wonderful--unnerving and soothing, sometimes capricious and sometimes just a bit too out of control for comfort. In these silences Shepard does his best exploration--and into these silences this production does not attempt to read too much. These characters for the most part are shadows--inventive shadows (Pablo's and Louis's shift from the childish to the grandiose are beautifully done)--but for the most part they allow themselves the restraint needed to remain unwitting victims. Occasionally the pace of the show is a bit off and the silences are lost, but for the most part the subtlety...
...collectibles market is now likely to be very unpredictable for investors. As expected, Sotheby's sale last spring of one of Pablo Picasso's self-portraits went for $5.3 million, the highest sum ever paid at auction for one of his paintings. But during that same week, Christie's received only half of the $20 million expected from one of its auctions. Among the unsold works: a still life by Picasso reportedly done...
