Makarios flew off to New York City in a borrowed cassock to plead for help before the United Nations Security Council, but before the U.N. could act or the major...
Williams has always been a tinkerer, right from his first commercial effort, Battle of Angels, which wound up 17 years later as Orpheus Descending. The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore was offered to the public in four versions, none of them successful. And, more recently, Two Character Play resurfaced...
