...When the Royal Shakespeare Company's The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby shifted from London to Broadway in September 1981, theatergoers gasped at the record-setting $100 ticket price and bottom-numbing 8 1/2-hr. length. Co-Producer Bernard Jacobs of the Shubert Organization described seeing both halves in one day as "participating with the actors in a survival experience."

...hardy band of performers is answering yes. Last week in Los Angeles, Les Fetes d'Hebe was given a glowing new production that reveled in each melodic appoggiatura and terpsichorean temps de courante.

In his grim dictatorship, she increasingly appears to be the power behind the throne. Already Elena Ceausescu, 67, is the object of a personality cult that rivals that of the 68-year-old President. Her birthday, like his, is a national holiday, her portrait waves in street parades, and the Rumanian media resound with her praise. She is variously hailed as the "woman-hero," the "party's torch," the "guiding spirit behind science and culture" and even...
