...cramped space in the Loeb Ex, set director Stephen O'Donnell does a great job. A massive subway bridge (which resembles a structure used in the ART production of Beckett's Endgame) runs the length of the stage while black-and-white slides of dirty city life flash onto a film screen at the back of the stage...
...anxious Talking Heads, the music does not live up to the cover's signal and the mellowness takes precedent in Little Creatures. Most of the lyrics and melodies lack the unpredictability of the earlier Heads. Images of David Byrne bursting with tension and racing on cocaine won't flash through your mind on this one.

Fretting about an epidemic? A nearby volcano about to blow? A poisoned water supply or a building collapse or a < riot? You ought to have been in In- dianapolis. Professor E.L. Quarantelli, director of the University...
