...young people a sense of pride, accomplishment and determination that they will be able to utilize later in life. Involvement in this sport leaves them very little time to hang out at the malls. All the hard work of the young people and their coaches should be heralded. JANICE ROMEO Manalapan...
...Tale, other late plays classified as "Romances," Cymbeline mixes comedy and tragedy, resulting in a drama unlike much of Shakespeare's more familiar work. Critics complain that Cymbeline simply rehashes elements of Shakespeare's earlier plays-one finds strong parallels to characters and relationships from King Lear, Othello, Romeo and Juliet-but producer Julia Griffin '03 takes the opposite view: late in his career, she contends, Shakespeare had "figured out what he liked and disliked in characters-so, for instance, he gave his heroine the best attributes of many previous heroines." She also notes that the play's original plot...
...Mason and Dixon of Mason-Dixon line fame, but the song holds together if you don't pay attention to the lyrics. Unfortunately, Knopfler seems to have lost the ability to choose exactly the right words for a situation that he displayed so brilliantly in that other Straits staple "Romeo and Juliet."

It all seems so very long ago when a new Branagh project was an event. Now it is a vague threat, and he is just another performer whose industry overwhelms his genius and sizzle...
...actor was virtually born one: great-nephew of actress Ellen Terry and second cousin of designer Gordon Craig. By 21, in Chekhov and Coward, he was a London fixture. He directed and starred in the renowned 1935 Romeo and Juliet (the cast included Peggy Ashcroft, Edith Evans and Alec Guinness), advancing Olivier's career by swapping roles (Romeo and Mercutio) in mid-run. Later he championed bold young playwrights, directing Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie, starring in Christopher Fry's The Lady's Not for Burning, Edward Albee's Tiny Alice and Edward Bond's Bingo...
