...government's backtracking came after months of fraught debate over its rugby team - South Africa's surest hope in any sport of capturing a world title. While the Springboks played a spectacular tournament, they did so with few black players, despite coming from a country with an 80% black majority. All but six of the 30-man rugby squad were white, and only two Springboks of color played in the World Cup final...

There are pagan sacrifices, pastoral masses, and one spectacular encounter between the evil sorcerer Oswald, Cupid, and the tutelary spirit of the frost.The set design, which consists of sliding panels that close and open up, approximating an authentic baroque set, allows the production to move between the world of spoken dialogue and the rarified realm of the masques.The cast and crew speculate...
