...Geneva, the U.S., U.K. and Australia invited 25 nations to a two-day meeting to hear White House Olympic Coordinator Lloyd Cutler spell out the U.S. position. Yet only nine of the countries invited sent delegates, and most of those who showed up listened coolly. Even staunchly pro-boycott Britain indicated that a timely Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan would "change everything...
...HUMOR in Epstein's production serves as a counterpoise to, not a remedy for, the harshness of nature: both moods coalesce under the spell of Purcell's music into an almost consecrational celebration.

James Bundy plays Kent with remarkable sincerity but his brawl with Oswald (a surprisingly meaty role in the hands of David Prum) sinks to absurdity. Mathew Horsman and Judah Mandlebaum labor with Albany and Cornwall and Max Cantor skates onstage intermittently as the court's errand...
