...relative amateurs, but he is an effective prince. Kistler dances with the tender grace of a fairy princess. Kyra Nichols leaps through the role of Dewdrop like a cavorting sprite. In the Marzipan Shepherdess's exacting solo -- full of exposed pointe work -- Margaret Tracey looks like a particularly toothsome sweet and dances impeccably...
...difference. Noel Prado, 37, farms 98 acres in Vegas, southeast of Havana, on which he must produce his government allotment of sugarcane. He seems content with Castro's policies. "Food is not a problem here," he says, patting his big stomach. He can sell some of his surplus peanuts, sweet potatoes, coffee, sheep and pigs.

Sometimes bewildering in his anger and self-hatred, at other times sweet and naive, this complex performance of a tormented soul is both intelligent without being pretentious, and intelligently humane. Also of note are Kevin Collins as Johnny, the lover of Maynard Keynes (John Quentin), as well as of Wittgenstein himself--sort of. Jarman is intent upon portraying homosexual love both as it is manifested in Keyne's and Johnny's relationship and as it is denied and gradually...
