...notorious scene-stealer--as an actor, that is. After stellar performances in last year's City of Angels and the Hasty Pudding musical (he stole the show playing a man, no less!), he finds himself in the director's chair, helming a play driven by its actor interpretation. Reckless, Roulleau claims, stands out among the fall clutter because "the actors we have chosen all possess a keen sense of the fine line between the comic and the tragic-- a central element of this play."

That last part, of course, is a canard. The last big tax cut was the Reagan mammoth of 1981, and though it did plunge the budget into $200 billion deficits, it also pulled the economy...
