What about major contemporary British playwrights, such as Storey or Osborne? "We don't want to do them--for stylistic reasons. Lots of them tend to write for a 'naturalistic' theater. I think they write in a style where what is seen on stage has to convince the audience that it's the real thing. But the only reality is the actor on the stage and you're watching. Our company is beautiful, eccentric, talented, and the fun is using and stretching the limitations." A recent production of Tennessee Williams' Camino Real, for example, was done in drag, with...
...second year, when the mother stops nursing. A branch of the World Health Organization has found that because of the decline of breast-feeding, deaths from malnutrition now peak in the third and fourth months. According to World Bank nutritionist Dr. Alan Berg, the past two decades have seen the average age of the onset of malnutrition drop from 18 to eight months in several of the countries he studies. This difference in age is critical because the first two years after birth is the most vulnerable period of brain development...

He has even formulated a lengthy, complex theory to explain these cultural dynamics, a theory which he some day hopes to publish...
...Hall on May 29-31 (if it isn't already sold out); Bonnie Raitt at Bentley College on the 27 and Brown U. on the 29; Jefferson Starship at the Music Hall on May 19-20. I personally recommend all three of these great shows, although I've never seen any of them in concert except the Starship, and that was years ago in Central Park in the rain and mud with 100,000 other people. (Those crowd estimates are never quite accurate...
