SCHOOL FOR SILLIES, by Jay Williams, illustrated by Friso Henstra (Parents' Magazine Press; $3.95). A graceful parody of the classic fairy tale in which a poor, bright boy outwits a king to win the hand of a princess. This time, the young suitor creates a school for fools and cleverly enrolls the king...
Irina's other suitor is the captain, Solyony, who kills Tusenbach in the duel. He is a strange man, and throughout the play keeps putting scent on his hands to get rid of their smell of death--like some sort of male Lady Macbeth. Right from the first act, Charles Cioffi's portrayal is a remarkable piece of acting. Solyony speaks scarcely a half dozen times in all of Act I, and spends most of the time sitting silently on a chair in the corner.

...opponents of conglomerates tell it, the usual takeover scenario is a melodramatic affair involving a helpless target company and an unscrupulous interloper.

...nunnery" scene he blatantly snuggles in the horizontal with her, defying Polonius to catch them in the act. Few actors can be more sexually insinuative in speech than Williamson, though in Hamlet's dirty, double-meaning banter with Ophelia ("country matters?") the voice is not that of a suitor out to shock but of a weary fornicator already tired of the flesh he has groped too often. As for the closet scene with Queen Gertrude, Williamson would have positively horrified the perhaps apocryphal British playgoer who said: "No gentleman would speak to his mother that...
