http://arts.guardian.co.uk/reviews/observer/story/0,,1868812,00.html A review of a quasi-operatic piece about Libya's Col. Gadaffi, done by the English National Opera and the Asian Dub Foundation. How's this paragraph strike you: "Accentuate that word 'attempt', for the piece signally fails to answer the questions it raises. The many conflicting sides to the intriguing figure of Gaddafi are serially presented, uniform by uniform - liberator, ideologue, religious zealot, mass murderer, whacko - but the end-product fails to take a position. The first half is an inert Wikipedia guide to the Libyan leader, a dictator painted by numbers, and the more animated second a confused morass of suggestive set-pieces, sending us back into the night to sort it out over dinner."
