    'Eleventh Hour' doesn't have a clue  Oct 10, 2008
    The writers of the show, which is based on a short British series starring Patrick Stewart, must think American audiences no longer expect even a semblance of logic in their crime stories. The clues on "Eleventh Hour" are obvious, when they're not absurd; the criminal motives are baseless; the bad guys, once caught, veer into unintentional camp as they make mad-as-a-hatter faces.

    The exact same trajectory was followed a season or two ago by an earlier production from the same director, Rupert Goold: "Macbeth," with Patrick Stewart, which ended up on Broadway. By rights, this one should travel westward, as well, and not just because its star, Ian McDiarmid, gives a scorching, quietly bravura performance to match his Tony-winning turn in New York in Brian Friel's "Faith Healer" two years ago. (International Herald Tribune -- Arts)

    TV's Import Business  Oct 6, 2008

    DVD Report: This week's new releases (Oct. 5)  Oct 5, 2008
    Patrick Stewart and Ashley Jensen star in the original UK version of the mysteries-of-science drama being Americanized by network television starting this week. While Hollywood's hankering to "improve" on the Brits can be dubious, this series could use some polishing, as it alternates between smart writing and blockheaded condescension. (Boston Globe)

    David Jones, 74; director's influence spanned Atlantic  Oct 3, 2008
    In the 1970s Mr. Jones directed four Gorky plays: "Enemies" - with a remarkable cast that included Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, Patrick Stewart, and John Wood - as well as "The Lower Depths," "Summerfolk," and "The Zykovs," all at Aldwych Theater, the Royal Shakespeare Company's London home.

    Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes are headlining at the National Theatre, Michael Gambon and David Walliams are about to open in Harold Pinter's No Man's Land, and the Royal Shakespeare Company production of Hamlet, with David Tennant and Patrick Stewart, is such a hot ticket that when London booking opened the box office was taking 2,000 calls every second.

    The clamour to see Tennant as the Dane in a rapturously-received Royal Shakespeare Company production alongside Patrick Stewart cemented the 37-year-old Scot's status as one of Britain's most popular and bankable actors.

    NextGen Captain Patrick Stewart picked up another iconic role as Professor Xavier in the "X-Men" films, but the captains of subsequent series have disappeared, as if in a tragic transporter accident.
