Review of Eastwood Ho!, a Jacobean romp revamped as a musical at the Mermaid Theatre in the City of London, in an auditorium redesigned by architect Sir Richard Seifert, who discusses the architectural project. Ken Russell's new film, Altered States, follows scientist Eddie Jessup's experiements on himself and drug-induced waking dreams, evoked by extraordinary special effects.
