Bonham Carter:"The other actors [John Wood as the Duke of Northumberland, Michael Hordern as Dr. Feckenham, Queen Mary's confessor, Sara Kestelman as Frances Grey, the Duchess of Suffolk etc.] were not intimidating at all; they all knew Trevor. [We would] watch them to pick up clues and technique...
...occasion had all the trappings of a lovefest. In the northern French city of Lille last week, schoolchildren waved tiny Union Jacks and Tricolor flags. Scottish bagpipers in kilts and bearskin hats played reels and strathspeys, and French military bands blared out God Save the Queen and the Marseillaise. But nothing embodied the spirit of Franco-British cooperation more than a joint announcement by President Francois Mitterrand and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher that their governments had approved the construction of a 31-mile-long rail tunnel linking the two countries. For nearly two centuries, rulers, entrepreneurs and engineers have dreamed...

...muscle-bound liberal who wants to save the property. He fails. Too many tenants prefer their own chaos to someone else's order, in this case the Gorilla Management Co.'s. Glynn concludes with an inevitable apocalypse, and none too soon. By the time the Nordic Ice Queen and the Madonna of Heat wrestle for the soul of the building, the author's inspired riffs on urban rot have been overworked as allegory. But not before a strong and exuberant talent has shown his stuff...
