...second act. The scene shifts continually from Celimene's apartment to Alceste and Arsinoe. The audience watches Alceste discover Celimene's deception at the same time they see her graphically seduce nearly every male in the cast. So, without any dialogue, the play highlights the 1920s' sensual excesses, Celimene's coquetry and Arsinoe's hypocrisy...

...Fantasy on Bizet's Carmen brought the concert to a triumphant close. The sultry melodies and sensual Spanish rhythms of Bizet's opera Carmen have led many composers to excerpt various dances and songs from the work. The flamboyant style of the melodies have made the work especially attractive to composers looking for virtuoso showpieces, and for no instrument has the opera been more metamorphosized in this manner than the violin.

But a businessman he was not. Long before he died in 1990, at the age of 57, he had lost control of his name, and his label...

Davidson opens up the novel with women cooking the sensual, traditional Greek dish Iman Baildi, which in English means "the priest fainted," hence the title of this book. Although this sounds like a delicious food, its significance in the novel is never fully developed. In fact, the food genre is quickly dropped, which can confuse a reader who thought this novel would be about taking a culinary journey into Greece and getting some heart-to-heart searching along the way.
