Throughout Love's Labour's Lost, the comic, rather than the romantic, leads pull this show through. Geidt has been around English departments long enough to pillory tweedy blusterers with disarming exaggeration. Murphy's lisping curate is straight out of Life of Brian; I waited all evening for him to say "Welease Woger!", but it never came. Rodney Hudson plays the chamberlain Boyet with liveried style and an infectious sense of fun.

...left in a second round of balloting. His action opens the way for Garcia to be sworn in as successor to President Fernando Belaunde Terry on July 28 in Peru's first transfer of power from one elected government to another in 40 years. Barrantes' decision to pull out came 36 hours after guerrillas, believed to be from the Maoist movement known as Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path), machine-gunned a car carrying the country's chief election officer, Domingo Garcia Rada, 72. Garcia Rada is in critical condition. President Belaunde denounced the "insane men who are bloodying our nation," declaring...
