...Brush up your Shakespeare," sang a pair of rogues in Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate, "and they'll all kowtow." As master artificer of Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company, Director Trevor Nunn has applied brush, tweezers, rouge and style to this dowager of a "problem play." He has outfitted her in the decorous billows and sashes of Edwardian England, taught her to sing and dance, sent her on a grand tour of Belle Epoque France and war-weary Italy. Now, fresh from triumphs in Stratford-upon-Avon and London, this radiant creature has come to charm...

...year later on Broadway, David Edgar's 8½hour adaptation of the Dickens novel met with a rapturous reception. In a time when many serious playwrights are hell-bent on reducing life's dilemmas to their sparest parts, panhandling for quiddity, Edgar and Directors Trevor Nunn and John Caird served up a copious celebration of life in all its wickedness and wonder. Led by Roger Rees as the callow, rigorous hero, 39 R.S.C. actors played 150 parts; they set the scene and moved the scenery; they patrolled the rafters and eavesdropped on intimacies. Everywhere in this complex...
