...large audience went to see. For them she danced. In chevelure of curled peruke, to a Mozart serenade, she swished her silken panniers, as did the belles of Bath, treading in the formal maze of a minuet, all the pride and fashion of the 18th Century caught in pattern of her narrow slippers. She danced a "Hurdy-Gurdy" dance like a marionette of ivory pulled on silver wires, to an imaginary music-box that slowly wound down and down.

Thoroughbreds. Paternity puzzles in the Theatre are likely to be intricately uninteresting. An absorbing pattern of drama must be sketched to make the spectator care just who is her father. In place of drama, the authors of Thoroughbreds have designed a crazy quilt of odds and ends stitched in from all the parent pieces of this particular...
