...Mike Durgin whether he enjoys the sound of the crowd when the Crimson gridders romp in for a touchdown. Or ask Joe Restic whether his offenseive line has proved a crucial factor in the success of this year's 7-2 squad. The answer, in both cases, is a resounding...
...performance, making him look like someone trying toact. When he addresses the audience--as he does frequently--Goldstien fidgets, never quite knowing what to do with his hands. He ruins some of Dysart's wittiest (and in their wry humor, extremely revealing) lines by trying too hard to sound flip and sarcastic; he sounds, instead, like Clark Gable faking a British accent. Yet, Goldstien captures some of his character's most elusive qualities; perceiving the slender line between detached interest and perverse fascination, he expresses well the seduction and repulsion in Dysart as he delves into Alan's psyche...
Michael Pillinger shows no fear--and, more important, no ineptitude--in this outstanding production. With enormous skill and grace, he confronts Peter Shaffer's challenging play--a work full of sound and fury, signifying everything from spiritual impotence to the decline of Western culture to the terrifying Question of Human Existence.

With truckloads of scratchy guitar work, snaky bass runs and exotic sax passages, the Beat create a sound that is soulful, dangerous, irresistible and distinctly urban. One can practically hear the buzz of the neon. The vocals clinch their sound: whether they're straight-ahead, echoed or involved in a call-and-response discussion, they have but one purpose: to create tension...
