...divergence here is in the theory behind a song; with The Police, each song is about something, usually something painfully obvious. Mice Parade is the antithesis of this style, pushing forth a mood, a feeling, on each track—more poetry than prose. There’s nothing wrong with “Bem-Vinda,” per se, and it’s certainly intriguing, but it just fails to captivate. For some reason, it comes off as indecisive rather than complex...
Chen says that the Kronauer Space proved the perfect venue for realizing the play’s mood and Marrinan’s vision: “[‘Seduced’] fits with this setting; it is oppressive and closed like the space itself. Plus Tim [Marrinan] wanted to something in an intimate setting, and Kronauer is small and closed...
Inevitably, Walter's return to the scenes of old cold war crimes evokes the mood and manner of '60s pop spy epics like, say, The Ipcress File.

If store owners are confident that consumers will be buying out the store, they feel no pressure to have lots of the jolly men around. But if there is a danger that business will be slow, merchants bring in the red army to lift holiday spirits and sales. Retailers this year are worried in part because the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the peak buying time, is just 26 shopping days, rather than last year's 32. Result: Santas...
