The set is sparse , dominated by a huge statue, the likeness of leading lady and leading man in almost balletic pose. Scenery is also at a bare minium: out go rose trellaced balconies, in come step ladders and tables. As for the production, it is contemporary in almost every facet. Tybalt is some kind of Adam Ant devotee, Friar Lawrence appears on a bicycle and smokes B&H, but this is where problems arise. All the paraphernalia of the late twentieth century are available as little more than visual gags, mood lighteners which in themselves fail to make any significant point. In the case of Mercutio's death scene the atmosphere is provided by a grating percussion (performed by the cast) creating a wild air of tension which is swiftly dissipated when the umbrella steals the show in a sublime moment of farce. Perhaps the ESC want us to acknowledge the transitory nature of emotion or to question how image and art are often fixed, frozen by certain impressions and expectations (certainly the statue must mean something). There are sixteen quotes in the programme concerning perceptions of women. However, these seem forgotten when, at Juliet's "deathbed", Lady Capulet and the nurse beat Lord Capulet in a wailing frenzy. Frying pans would have completed the sit-com stereotype. The show is equivocal and although I laughed at the flashing bow tie and the hangover scene I want more from my Shakespeare. Stuart Davies

Leeds Student Independent Newspaper 15th October 1993 14 - Fog C N Ever since the devasting climax to the Waco seige in Texas earlier this year, religious cults have come under intense scrutiny. The Church of Christ, born in the USA 14 years ago, has a new recruiting ground - Leeds - and students are the prime target. Tamzin Lewis examines the Church's dubious methods and, in the boxes, Helen Sage talks to some people who have had experience with the Church.

Frank McGuiness is an extraordinary playwright. His latest play, Someone Who'!! Watch Over Me, currently showing at the West Yorkshire Playhouse won the Independent on Sundays Award for Play of the Year and the Critics Circle Award in America for Best New Play. The play is the astounding tale of three men who are thrown together in a cell in Lebanon and have, somehow, to find a way of surviving on a day-to-day level. Liz Ekstein talked to the cast about how they put together such a play.

I am not playing Brian Keenan - we're "With powerful emotional force Edward playing Michael and Edward and Adam, the says to Adam,'Lel me be able to do my worst characters in the play.
