...disease, alas, is catching. The source of the sorcery, the chief spinners of this Dream, must be Puck and his master Oberon, king of the fairies. Lapine's boldest experiment is to cast a woman (Marcell Rosenblatt) as Puck. But she has been directed to substitute screeching tomboyishness for sly sprightliness, and the resulting overaggressiveness is painful to watch, something like seeing the only girl on a Little League team overcompensate for her gender. Oberon is done to a star turn by William Hurt (Body Heat), who is so in love with the sound of his own voice that...

...following journal is partly an account of that search, and partly a record of events observed in Lebanon during the week of June 28 through July 4. Although his journey began on June 23, Rosenblatt did not arrive in Beirut until the afternoon of June 27, due to the necessity of going first to London, then to Cyprus, and from Cyprus by container ship from Limassol to Junieh, a small port in northern Lebanon.
