CONTENTS 4,
THROWING MUSES Arguably the USA’s finest exponents ofehallenging indie-rock, the Throwing Muses’s fifth album has just been released, still heavily influenced by vocalist Kristin Hersh’s personal traumas.
KING LEAR and RICHARD Ill The Royal National Theatre offers two Shakespearian productions at Edinburgh’s King’s Theatre. Brian Cox talks about the experience of playing Lear, and we investigate the Bard’s slandering of poor old Richard.
VIC REEVES As the white-suited master of surreal pastiche starts a new series on Channel 4, he tries to explain the origins of characters like The Man With The Stick and Morrissey The Consumer Monkey.
