...Harry Potter books on the fiction bestseller list might indicate about the typical reader of today, just as interesting is the number of biographies on the nonfiction list. Of the top 15 bestsellers last week, only two non-fiction books can be classified as having no biographical content or slant whatsoever...
...sensory level is downright astonishing. Scott Bradley's sets are a work of art in themselves, something of a cross between installation art and Isamu Noguchi's minimalist sets for the New York City Ballet. Add to that the light design of John Ambrosone, for whom no slant of light or subtlety of shading is unattainable, and the stoic formalism of Catherine Zuber's costumes, which make Chekov's rural social philosophers seem as though they could just melt into the landscape, and you have a two-hour-long painting on the stage.
