...three-year-old shoestring repertory group that calls itself Theater Atlanta has been delighting sell-out audiences with a sharp, snappy satire that is as regional as the round little restaurant owner who is its subject: Governor Lester Maddox. Broadway, fortunately, is not so dead as to ignore a show that is pulling customers to West Peachtree Street from 30 miles around. Last week Edward Padula, producer of Bye Bye Birdie and A Joyful Noise, announced that in January he will open Red, White and Maddox in Manhattan with the original cast...
...White and Maddox was written by Jay Broad, managing director of Theater Atlanta, and Don Tucker, a veteran composer for cabarets and industrial shows. It remains to be seen, though, how well this regional product will travel. Another of the show's songs is ominously titled The City's a Great Place to Visit if You Don't Want to Live...
...37th show of the National Chamber of Italian Fashion, Scott had sent 14 models swirling down the runway wearing flower-printed jersey in every shade of pink imaginable, from begonia, bougainvillea and poinsettia to lobster, raspberry, strawberry and watermelon. The designer called the look "hippie gypsy," and it included tiny bra tops covered by bolero jackets, Hungarian tunic blouses combined with tights or flowing midiskirts and curly hairdos bound up with kerchiefs. Jewels glinted from every ear, finger, neck, wrist, waist and ankle. Scott's version of this year's costume look was the hit of the show...
Bacon's show may prove to be the most popular of the season; in the first week, all 19 oils have been either sold or reserved for prices ranging upward from $35,000 for the smallest multiple-image portraits. For nearly 20 years, he has been renowned in inner circles as Britain's finest figurative painter; his works have hung in U.S. museums since the early 1950s. His commercial success is a telling comment on just how open-minded the general public has become, for Bacon's material is, to put it simply, sick...
Most of the canvases he paints depict pulpy male nudes who couple lewdly on beds or sit like withdrawn junkies in cell-like boxes. The current show also includes many grotesquely distorted portraits of his friends, among them George Dyer, his studio assistant, Isabel Rawsthorne, wife of Composer Alan Rawsthorne, and Painter Lucian Freud, Sigmund's grandson. On one canvas, a hypodermic syringe rises from what looks like a well-beaten body, while in a corner of another a bird that has been plucked stark naked screeches desperately on his perch...
