...restless, Ruth is given to brisk interior monologues, like "Help!" or "Watch it Tallulah!" Stoppard has given her a tasty collation of epigrams, and her delivery is succulent. Of her one-night London stand with Wagner, she notes that "hotel rooms constitute a separate moral universe." She develops a sensual fantasy crush on Milne and is heart-wrenchingly crushed when he is killed. Seductively comic, and amusingly seductive, Smith must challenge the aggressive charmlessness of Broadway's ANTA Theater, a house to which she rightly objected. Playing the ANTA stage is like pitching a tent in the Sahara...
Modigliani has both a sensual solace and a fiery challenge in his English mistress and nude model, Beatrice Hastings. Mary-Joan Negro plays this role with such formidable passion and intelligence as to conjure up Goethe's "eternal feminine" as the root impulse of creation. Wisely, touchingly, Playwright Dennis Mclntyre treats of the artist's self-arming ego and his nightmares of self-doubt. In the title role, Jeffrey de Munn is protean, a mercurial mixture of earth, air, fire and water...

Opinion polls in recent years have repeatedly shown that a vast number of American Catholic couples simply do not regard birth control as sinful. Whether the Pope's stand will affect them or the practice of confession...
...surprising then that Tim Curry vibrates with the same outrageous level of defiant sensuality on his new album, appropriately titled Fearless. His confidence pervades the lyrics, but comes out most explicitly in his lascivious, violent singing, much akin to that of Mick Jagger. Like Jagger, Curry masterfully expresses his sensual nature without the particular mention of sex, relying instead on intonation and varying emphasis...
Tensions and insecurities may have something to do with Pavarotti's gourmandizing too, quite beyond his sensual gusto and need to replenish himself. After a hard evening onstage, he has been known to put away a lobster dinner followed by a steak dinner and an entire basket of rolls, and then to dive for leftovers on his companion's plate. Lambrusco, the slightly fizzy red wine of his native region, does not travel well, according to his palate. When on tour, Pavarotti orders bottles of Mouton-Cadet 1975, say, mixes them with bottles of Perrier water and?ecco!?instant...
