...larger-than-life-sized images of sex. From countless racks and shelves, it pushes the books which a few years ago were considered pornography. From myriad loudspeakers, it broadcasts the words and rhythms of pop-music erotica. And constantly, over the intellectual Muzak, comes the message that sex will save you and libido make you free...
Inevitably the Second Coming at Twelvepalms is a fiasco, attended largely by crackpots ("You know, the ones who write books about their trips to Venus"). No one scorns them more than Brown. But, like them, he cannot give up his obsession. "I'll save (I will) this apple world," he says at last, "this sweet nut, this beauty, beauty. Ah, listen, hear the bugle blow.

In the second act, however, the cooperation changed to hostility, and even a superbly buffo fight could not rouse interest. A good period piece Sweeney Todd undeniably is, but who reads Henry Esmond for pleasure any more...
