HENRY V. Kenneth Branagh, 28, is the Olivier wanna-be of the '80s. In this version, keenly faithful to the famous 1944 film, the actor-director stakes his boldest claim yet to Lord Larry's title. The elite cast -- a veritable Burke's Peerage of British acting -- makes it a royal, enjoyable feast...

The twist in Terrence McNally's midnight-dark comedy, which opened off-Broadway last week, is that the seemingly enviable, self- possessed character lacks the emotional resources to deal with the breakup of a relationship...
