...this is not all wide-eyed and innocent fairy tale theater. Director Andrei Serban has thrown in his share of the hip and trampy. Brighella (Harry S. Murphy), the king's man servant, and Smeraldina (Isabell Monk), Brighella's sister, are the low-class comic duo strutting about the stage. Tramping about, dressed like a tattered peacock of a Southern belle, Smeraldina angles for the king and then anyone who will take her. And Brighella is not above telling her how used her wares...

Among the better menu choices are the roasted pigeon with sweet garlic, lime...
...years ago. "People like to think they rise above class," she says, "but it is a very important element in their lives, and it is much more open out here." She and her husband, whom she married in 1952, divorced in 1975 and remarried in 1977, have thrown themselves into local affairs and avidly tout the region's cultural institutions. Rendell has steeped herself in local tradition and, according to one of her American editors, gives driving directions to her secluded home by enumerating various haunted houses along...
