David Ardell and Jed Willard are wellmatched as the equally psychotic partners in crime, Jonathan Brewster and Dr. Einstein. Justin Levitt plays the native Mr. Gibbs and the overly enthusiastic Officer O'Hara with winning relish...
Bill Clinton might not relish comparisons of himself with either Lyndon Johnson or Ronald Reagan. As a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, he demonstrated against Johnson's Vietnam policy, and he is now pushing a deficit-cutting program that specifically aims to stand Reaganomics on its ear. But as a bandwagon driver, Clinton is getting off to a start that either of his quick- off-the-mark predecessors might envy. Like them, he is capitalizing on a combination of shrewd planning, guile in bargaining and no little luck to put a stamp on policy that could be lasting...
Carefully, constructedly cool, Quartett takes the complex, bulky plot of the novel and pares it down to two actors who alternate personalities and sexes with cheerless machination in a game of sex and vengeance.

Brown moves in tightening circles around Tom Hopkins as Valmont, the lethargic predator turned prey. Hopkins' Valmont is charming and at times strikingly perverse. On the other hand, the interaction between these...

That's the reason negative ethnic based generalizations about Black people are all too often asserted quickly and with relish in the White Media when it's a matter of a Leonard Jeffries, a Mike Tyson, or a tragically self-destructive Marion Barry--and why positive ethnic-based generalizations are absent from any consideration of a Phyllis Wallace, a Dizzy Gillespie, or a Charlayne Hunter-Gault...
...even just to witness Angela Delichatsios's roughly sexual and smolderingly psychological performance, Deathwatch is well worth the trip to the Adams House tunnels. Genet fans, especially, will relish her delivery of LeFranc. There are slow moments (the first scene with the guard is unquestionably the worst), and there are moments when Genet's abrasion and sexual dynamism are disappointingly watered down. But, overall, the play hums along with only a few unnecessary bumps and lulls...
