...flags, the monologues seldom ramble. There's a risk in doing a play with only three actors, but there can be a certain magic as well. Luckily, Moore has sensed that the magic of Slow Dance lies in the passions of his characters and has given them correspondingly free rein...

Says Georges Mink, an expert on Poland for the Paris-based Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique: "If the Soviet Union wants to obtain a more conciliatory attitude from the government and make it easier for the hard-liners in the infighting, then the economy is a logical weapon...
