Randall Wise, 32, and his associates in a Massachusetts firm called Animal Optics, Inc., are responsible for that ophthalmological advance. Wise had learned from his father, a California poultry farmer, that chickens with cataracts suffer reduced vision and also lose their tendency to peck one another to death, a lamentable chicken habit that can result in the destruction of up to 25% of. a tightly penned flock. In fact, the elder Wise had experimented with distorting lenses to reproduce the effects of cataracts and discovered that transparent colored lenses worked just as well...
...LIES in peaceful quiet sleep, A vision came unbidden to his head: He saw the birds that fly, the beasts that creep, He saw the teeming living and the dead. Surveying all, he looked first to the north And at the pole, he caught sight of a gleam; A Cadillac in chrome was riding forth, Pulled by a twelve-man transition team. "What can this mean?" asks Bok of his stern guide, Who answers thus in Slavic-sounding voice: "This year a new man takes the Yuletide ride, Delivering gifts to rich and poor--rejoice!"

They should consider that lighting has been an acceptable directorial tool since the turn of the century; yet when a director shines different colored or powered lights on a performer from different directions, he is doing with vision essentially the same as Breuer is with hearing: manipulating the path a performance travels on its way from the actor to the audience's senses. Breuer's experiments of today may become tomorrow's bread-and-butter theater...
...could suggest that Breuer's A.R.T. production risks that. With a live rock band, liberal use of the Loeb's well-endowed lighting system, and microphones everywhere, it promises to be arresting in its complexity. But behind the stage technology there lies a coherent vision of theater that Breuer is willing to define precisely...
