fiOO 40 OBSERVER SUNDAY 16 OCTOBER 1988 Great man hosts live on A. Miller's Ibsen, J. Miller's Tempest MICHAEL RATCUFFE belatedly, with devastating force. He is magnificent, and matched in combat by Henry's mayor, a pale and venomous trimmer who makes all his enemies Ik to him and then buys them over to his side. David Thacker's stirring production lacked only a measure of mob savagery on the opening night.

It reveals all the infinite shades of accommodation and corruptibility accepted in the name of public opinion and a wealth of the domestic detail by which Ibsen ironically observes hairline cracks in society at large, by the way a man takes exercise or eats his food. Joe Vanek sets the Dublin 'Peer Gym' under a curving, clapboard Norwegian sky which remains in place throughout Peer's adventures, though the floor and walls turn terracotta for North Africa and shining black for his ominous return up the fjord towards the end of the play. Patrick Mason directs a clear and bracing production which falters only in the comic scenes of Act Four. Where Peter Stein at the Schaubiihne used six Rudolph Walker plays Caliban In Jonathan Miller's Visually striking' production of The Tempest' at the Old Vie. Peers, Mason has three: Barry Lynch as the lying young leaner across ravines; Garrett Keogh at the vulgarising slave-runner and voluptuary in exile; Joe Dowling as the canny, rich entrepreneur come home to die.

Lynch makes the young Peer a mercurial brother of Synge's Playboy, and the play gets off to a terrific start with the boy baiting an abrasive and adoring Ase (Doreen Hepburn). McGuin-ness's incisive Irish English, working from a literal translation by Anne Bamborough, keeps the actors bouncing on air. 'I wish I had a butcher's knife to cut the laughter from their swears Peer as his first love goes off to marry another man. (Compare David Rudkin's mouthful for the RSC, 1982: 'To get my hand in their vitals the way of a butcher and wrench the scorn from out o' them The subtle Keogh is the wrong actor to fill out the extravagant wit and monstrosity of the harem and madhouse scenes; Dowling looks like a genial but devious French butcher so that the mysterious, riddling approach to death is that of a Poujadist rather than Peer Gynt, King of Beasts. Shaun Davey's music is lively and apt throughout, aiuh there are two superb performances by Olwen Fouere and Kate Flynn as, respectively, a Solveig of incorruptible simplicity, and a female Button Moulder fresh from the clinic rather than the usual wizened old cove.

Jonathan Miller's switch-back season continues at the Old Vic. After his bold and undervalued production of Chapman's 'Bussy d'Ambois', The Tempest, though visually striking, is conceptually dull. Programme quotations have much of interest and relevance to say about late Renaissance colonialism and the occult, but little of this finishes up on stage, despite the casting of black actors as Ariel (Cyril Nri), Caliban (Rudolph Walker), islanders, and three operatic goddesses whom ftospero's rough magic invokes in masks, warpaint and Polynesian farthingales of straw. (Designer, Richard Hudson.) There is little of the occult and nothing of John Dee in Max von Sydow's Prospero. He does not conjure Ariel after putting Miranda to sleep, for Ariel sits hi bright, listening stillness on the yellow sands from the onset of the second scene.

This is one WE ARE living through the centenary decade of some of Ibsen's greatest plays and the old boy is in cracking form. In a week when London Transport survived suggestions of criminal negligence with a verdict of accidental death at the Kings Cross! fire inquest Arthur Miller's thrilling version of Aa Enemy of the People (Young Vic) is the angriest play in town. In Dublin, Frank McGuinness's Irish transliteration of Peer Gyat (Gate) is a model of buoyancy and freshness despite a length of more than four hours. Hilton Edwards and Micheal MacLiammoir opened the Gate 60 years ago with the Irish premiere of the same play. Ibsen is still opening gates and kicking down doors.

His 'An Enemy of the People' (1882), the story of a provincial doctor who discovers that the town's thermal source of wealth is poisoned but that the citizens will destroy him rather than accept the truth, was his riposte to the vicious reception of 'Ghosts' in Scandinavia and abroad. Miller's 'Enemy' (1950), from a literal translation by Lars Nordenson, was conceived under the rise of McCarthyite America, and the protaganist prefigures John Proctor of 'The Crucible', Miller's next play. Doctor Stockmann (Tom Wilkinson) is bourgeois man, eager to share his learning, a householder proud of his new tablecloth, a rather delighted to see young people eat well, a man of joy. He has everything to lose by stepping out of line, but the lesson he learns from the perversion of democracy by bis brother Peter, the mayor (David Henry) and Hovstad of the 'radical' press (Tom Mannion) is that 'it takes 50 years for the majority to be He is thus accused of arrogance, ambition, elitism (in all but name) and revolution. A cover-up turns into a witchhunt.

In the face of three temptations to compromise and save face from the mayor, the editor, and his mischievous father-in-law (Clive Swift) he chooses to stay and fight. At the third temptation he weeps openly: 'I've had all the ambassadors of hell- today, but there'll be no more! Stockmann is not perfect, and a deep river of aspirant-fratricide runs beneath the play. Wilkinson plays him as an engaging naif for whom the facts of public life arrive, though promising start in which the fictional fortunes of Orwell, Lawrence and the American playboy-poet Harry Crosby almost collide in a Parisian cafe in 1929, despite good cast and some some jolly visual tricks, this fantasy with period songs slogs its way through three hours with a dogged disconnectedness. The RSC was right to stage it in The Pit, but they should have looked longer and harder to identify the play that Mr Lowe was trying to write. combined, he has the brass to complain that his neglected wife fails to offer the stimulus of resistance! Gaskill defines a delicate and conspiratorial eroticism in the scenes between mistress, maid and page; the witty Alison.

Fiske plays the Countess as a tremulously ambivalent woman provoked info intrigue, and Ian Fitzgibbon is very funny indeed as the breathless, perspiring and tumescent Cherubino. Stephen Lowe's Divine Gossip (RSC, The Pit) is a brave shot and a wide miss. Despite a Figaro, designed by Liz da Costa (Crucible, Sheffield), sharply defines the libertarianism that distinguishes Beaumarchais' play from the operatic masterpiece that has all but eclipsed it on stages outside France. 'You command everyone here except Figaro Qim Findley) tells the Count (Paul Whitworth) before the full assembled household, and the Count emerges as the dumb country cousin of his contemporaries in 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses'. Dictatorship and promiscuity Miller's RSC 'Shrew' now at The Barbican, but this seems to have bypassed most of the actors.

Except for Nri's acutely keen Ariel, Aden GUlett's gentle Ferdinand, and John Barron's crisp Gonzalo, the speaking is very indifferent. Alexei Sayle is left to his own devices as Trin-culo and these are both timorous and unfunny: Rudi Davies of the pale, Bisto-kid features and sandy hair, turns Miranda into a quivering and hysterical dinger. William Gaskill's elegant production of The Marriage of of the most extended solo expositions in all Shakespeare, and due to von Sydow's wretched attack of first-night nerves on Tuesday it seemed as though it would stretch till crack of doom. He never recovered completely. Phrasing and syntax rarely came together in sustained lines of meaning, although beneath the actor's evident misery glimpses of tenderness, irony and mischief were intermittently revealed.

The pace is deliberately slow; the audience listens hard for the detailed textual illumination of Ingredients of a master clieff Rembrandts re-examined at the National Gallery 'Divine Gossip' at The Pit bib tsT 1 imiiif -flim an excellent example of Rembrandt's Leiden period. Not now though. It has ascribed to 'Imitator of Rembrandt'' and consigned to the basement. -The purpose of the exhibition is to examine Rembrandt's working procedures, the materials he used and alterations he made. It turns out that he was more conventional in his methods and altogether more systematic than legend would allow.

He was keen to economise (red lead eking out vermilion), calculating rather than impulsive in, for example, his deployment of impasto. Fuseli, that painter of ghosts and violent surprises, would have liked ihe. X-rays with their dark necroinantic layers of indecision. The rest would probably be too technical for his taste, the revelations verging on betrayal. The paintings become mere areas of investigation hung beside colour photographs of minute portions vastly enlarged.

We see 'Shadow of Belshazzar's outstretched hand' like an Ecdes cake in cross section. Sideways on, the image is simply an accretion. 'The flesh paint of yellow earth, yellow lake, white and vermilion is underpainted with a thick layer of translucent Magnified 14,700 times by scanning electron microscopy a crumb of chalk ground from 'Portrait of Philips Lucasz' is shown to contain huge Henry Mooreish fossil creatures. At that proximity Rembrandt becomes irrelevant. its true brilliance, fails to register on the scientific scale.

'Portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels', on the other hand, is enhanced, catalogue-wise, by analysis, and its authenticity is con-fumed. Probably unfinished and clearly flattened and dulled by repeated restoration, the painting isn't what it was. X-rays are helpful in that they show up Rembrandt's decision, to shove the left hand inside the thick, pallid wrap. 'A Franciscan Friar' and the second, smaller portrait of Margaretha de Geer, the two paintings most publicised in the last few days, are not so much discredited by scientific data on them as confirmed dubious. The large 'Portrait of Margaretha de Geer' that goes with the portrait of her husband, Jacob Trip, is stronger, more worked over, more authoritative than the one in Question.

Doubts about the painting of the man on horseback, identified with some confidence by the National Gallery as being Rihel, a merchant and cornet in the Amsterdam civic guard, have focused on the horse, a rarity in Rembrandt's oeuvre. Infra-red and X-ray photographs show that it's all of a piece, that the horse is simply a clumsy mount, an almost emblematic beast and, on the strength of its forelegs atone, more than likely the work of Rembrandt. Finally, with 'Self-Portrait at the age of 63, a few months before he died, Rembrandt leaves the Scientific and Conservation Department little new to add. There's perfunctory talk of 'thick impasto flesh layer of cheek, mainly of lead white tinted with earth pigments' but that's no surprise. Rembrandt as Fuseli regarded him, as we see him, clasps his hands (earner, X-rays show, he held a brush) having given his face substance.

('A brown undermodelling the brown "quartz" ground is also visible'). The confrontation remains: Rembrandt is himself again. THERE has been a drastic decline in the number of Rembrandts over the past seventy years, from 711 in 1921 to 562 in 1966 to 420 in 1968. In about twelve years' time the Rembrandt Research -Project, paid for by the Netherlands Organisation for the Advancement of Pure Research, is likely to declare a total of well under 300. More than 400 paintings, therefore, that once seemed typical of Rembrandt, have come jto-be recognised as only Rembrandtesque.

The Research Project's final pronouncements won't be the end of it, for Rembrandt studies thrive on problems of authentication. While it's generally accepted that the 'Man. with the Golden Helmet' in Berlin is a pseudo-Rembrandt, if not a fake, argument over the status of 'The Polish Ridet', in the Frick Collection, is; bound to continue. And what abouttfie'atidi Equestrian Porrrait', now known as 'Portrait of Frederik Rihel on Horseback'? Also the second Mrs Trip. Rembrandt's peculiar pre-eminence dates from, the nineteenth-century Romantic notion of the artist despised, bankrupted and rejected.

'He certainly had no Fuseli wrote in 1801. 'Holland was incapable of recognising his Himself Alone then: he whose self-portraits are, everyone agrees, among the supreme manifestations of humanity. Art in the Making: Rembrandt at the National Gallery tacitly contradicts Fuseli and sets out the latest evidence from the Gallery's Scientific and Conservation Department about how Rembrandt painted. The results of X-ray and magnification are posted alongside the National Gallery's nineteen Rembrandts (two of them just 'Rembrandts', possibly), together with the early 'Judas and the Thirty Pieces of Silver', borrowed from a private owner. Until recently they could have done without 'Judas' because their own 'A Man in a Room' was considered they blacked it out again.

Paint samples and X-rays of the portrait of Rembrandt's wife Saskia van Uylenburch in Arcadian costume (brocade, bouquet, floral necklace and garland) reveal a dramatic change of subject. For beneath the fecundity lurks a previous 'Judith and Holofernes', with Saskia holding the sword and her servant carrying Holofemes's head in a sack. What went before shouldn't necessarily affect the way we. regard the finished painting. What counts is what shows, not the underlying features.

It's interesting, thought to leam about the. enlargement of the lantern that serves as. the alternative (nOh-divlne "light source in 'The Adoration of the Shepherds', and to see how 'Lamentation over the Dead Christ' was pieced together. First the chief mourners on paper, then the paper laid down on a canvas and then, as the composition developed, extra bits of canvas for surrounding gloom. The scientific approach to Rembrandt's touch is as it should be: cautious, prosaic, plodding.

The processes of going back over what Rembrandt may have achieved in an instant, or what an assistant's hand may have done likewise, put all the paintings however good their provenance (or indeed' however good they look), into question. Under investigation they are treated as suspects, examined for what they may conceal. 'A Woman Bathing in a Stream' one of the greatest moments in art is subjected to time and motion study. The white shift in particular is analysed: Rembrandt at his most spontaneous, every stroke as heavy as the linen, every one a sort of caress. Nothing much to be learnt here, for the wholeness of the painting, Hi new play by Harold Pinter Harold Pinter's first play since One for the Road (1984) is directed by the author.
