...sooner had the Royal Ballet's prima ballerina Antoinette Sibley, 34, been given the plum of her career-a three-act version of Manon created especially for her by Choreographer Kenneth MacMillan-than she fell sick. A victim of frequent illness during her 18-year career, including tuberculosis and glandular fever, Sibley could not even start rehearsals last year because of an inflamed hip. Medication put her back on pointe, but she promptly irritated a nerve in her leg. Offstage again, she got the flu.

Gordone's play is a brilliant affirmation of his own black ethos, yet it has achieved universal magnitude in the power of its characterizations...
