...props and a telephone hanging down from the ceiling. By an occasional gesture within the play, Warner raises his own questions about the reality of theater: WOMAN pours MAN a drink of something from a while prop bottle and actually spills liquid onto his hand through his make-believe wine glass. Mostly, however, Warner plays it straight, competently choreographing MAN and WOMAN'S sexual tangle on the floor at one point and making imaginative use of trunks, screens, and mirrors. Before his first entrance, MAN can be seen in a full-length mirror at the back of the stage...

Unfortunately the same could not be said for the loaded beer can, w3hich struck Eliot dazed him and sent him into a heap on the ice. The police call that assault and battery, I call it sick...

There is no ease in me." For that last, the thanks of a grateful nation. Trouble in Paradise is a series of twelve interrelated songs set within the balmy regions of superficial ease where disaster keeps bobbing to the surface like a corpse in a reflecting pool. I Love L.A., which opens the record, is a mock-heroic epic...
