In Search of a Lost Love: Making a Musical Out of Proust
MARCEL PROUSTS Remembrance of Things Past can be neither tossed aside lightly nor thrown with great force. Spanning 7 volumes and 4,300 pages, it is difficult to lift, let alone hurl. Fortunately, the novel (today often called In Search of Lost Time) has graces commensurate with its size. Just ask the playwright Richard Nelson and the composer Ricky Ian Gordon, who have written a musical that tries to capture Prousts great themes: the elusive power of memory, the inscrutability of other people, the awful joys of love. In My Life With Albertine, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Gordon focus on a single strand of the narrators story: his obsession with the mysterious Albertine. They avoid the need to cram the entire novel into two hours, but have to do justice to what Edmund Wilson called one of the most important love affairs in fiction.. Article on process of turning Marcel Prousts novel Remembrance of Things Past into musical My Life With Albertine, written and directed by Richard Nelson and composed by Ricky Ian Gordon; show will open new $27 million home of Playwrights Horizons on West 42nd St; photos (L)

Rock and the Queen to Celebrate Each Other
Rock n roll may not be Her Majestys cup of tea, but even Queen Elizabeth would probably concur that pop music has been Britains main cultural ambassador during her 50-year reign. So to celebrate her Golden Jubilee, she has invited a few knights of the realm -- Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Sir Cliff Richard -- and a score of their fellow rock n rollers for a gig at the palace. Today, with Mick Jagger close to 60, few Britons can probably remember that rock n roll originally landed here from the United States in the 1950s, when Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis first shook up this tranquil island. By the 1960s, though, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who and others had made the music their own and were exporting it back to the United States..
