...serenity that not even the booming chorus of All You Need Is Love from the '60s British art show downstairs can shatter. Displayed along glass cabinets usually reserved for sacred scroll paintings are mere pots of wood-fired clay. But through the alchemy of her kiln, Gwyn Hanssen Pigott has lent these objects a heavenly aura. Before your eyes, her luminous glazes seem to fade to white; porcelain lips quiver. When two Buddhist monks enter the room, they are drawn to the pieces like moths to a flame, which is hardly surprising. If Tasmania's Les Blakebrough is the father...
...Erica Srednicki, 29, hopes that won't happen to her. Srednicki's orders came through in February, just when the Army reservist was getting her one-woman Morgantown, W.Va., catering service off the ground. With only two days' notice, she did some recruiting of her own. Her friend Chris Pigott and her mother Linda Srednicki have stepped in, and so far, it seems to be working. Though Linda lives 2? hours away and has a full-time job, she knew she was her daughter's best hope. "What do you do? Let the business fold?" she asks...
...Broadway production, directed by Howard Davies, has actually improved a notch since its acclaimed run last year in London, where the cacophony of Brit-style American accents was a bit distracting.

All in all, a potentially grueling evening becomes a breathtaking theater experience...
...Spielbergian supernatural touches (ghosts appearing in dreams, Jupiter descending from the heavens) and robust battles. In one chilling scene, two panels of the back wall bang open to reveal opposing armies about to pour onto the stage. The most impressive coup de theatre, however, belongs to Star Tim Pigott-Smith, a specialist in complex villains. He invades the bedroom of a sleeping princess, robs and molests her while voicing a cascading confusion of emotions -- first pride, then shame, then lust, then greed -- with the naked horror of a man facing his true nature for the first time...
...professional consoler to be found at the bedsides of the series' variously suffering characters, Geraldine James is unremittingly sensible. So too is Charles Dance as Guy Perron, the thoughtful, soft-spoken officer with whom she feels rapport. But the most dominant of all the performances is that of Pigott-Smith as Merrick. Holding together the entire series with the black magic of a self-made lago, he is a picture of twisted pride and prejudice, his face permanently pinched, his upper lip invariably quivering toward a sneer...
