May the melancholy be encouraged and the sanguine quieted; may the phlegmatic be tendered and the choleric humbled; may self be denied and the cross of Christ worn as a daily garment; may His peaceable kingdom forever be established in the rational, immortal soul."

Since she delivers her part of the dialogue like nightclub one-liners, she might as well be alone. As Hedda's sinister admirer Judge Brack, Timothy West is as sensually menacing as a puff of cigar smoke. If Patrick Stewart's Luvborg has "vine leaves in his hair," they are not Greek but plastic. As Hedda's husband, a timid soul and a baffled marital masochist who dotes on books, Peter Eyre salvages the only acting honors...
