...middle, the huge Zeigfeld Theater on 54th Street. It's the premiere of the restored "Vertigo" and Kim Novak is sitting about ten seats away. Sonic Youth is there - I talk to Thurston Moore about Bernard Herrmann. The ecstatic moment: Judy walks out of the bathroom, bathed in green light, the French-curl hair style finally in place and Madeline's reincarnation complete. Herrmann's score swells...
...Putting light-heartedness aside, however, HYPE does have a serious mission.

Chronicling the personal and political fallout of George's episodes of what was probably porphyria, a metabolism disorder affecting factors from urine color to sensitivity to light, Bennett's script is renowned for its wit and inventiveness-and for its difficulty. Director Frederick Hood '01 has the energies of a large cast to focus, and how well he does so will likely determine not whether George III will be an event, which seems predestined, but what sort...
