This year's lady tourist, sure to stun the natives, will just as surely bring back with her the lovely smock, hand-painted in the juice from the biddledee nuts that fell from the trees that shaded her patio. It will be a find found in the little store tucked away at the end of the crooked street. But it may seem less of a find back home. What seems perfection itself in the land of bongo and mango has a disappointing and predictable way of becoming not quite so spectacular once past customs...
...course, she's jes' fine in the rest of those numbers too. At Hernando's Hideaway, she gets deliciously and most raucously drunk; before that, with bowler, smock and tights, she's given us "Steam Heat" (Janet Mendelsohn and Charon Lee Cohen, the show's choreographer, assist her in that).

Her nanny describes flatly the penalty for unmentioned sins: "Your body will burn for evermore...
...nation's rubbish heaps, junk piles and beaches to find its materials, for the ingredients of art are supposed to lie anywhere, if only the eye is gifted enough to see. One artist found himself well supplied with old beams when his house was torn down. A favorite smock that has become too worn to wear can be dipped in glue and hurled against a door, and a generous helping of red paint mixed with bucket, cans and surgical gauze produces a grizzly montage called Capt Canaveral. But the show also has surprises of another sort. A 24-year...
