**** Recommended **** You’ll remember that last year, on opening night for “Pamplona”, Stacy Keach became ill and lost his focus, but struggled valiantly to continue until Director Robert Falls finally called a halt. Move forward a year, the Goodman is advertising the return of “Pamplona”; and I happened to see Keach on “Windy City Live” talking about his bypass surgery and recovery. I was looking forward to a superb performance in “Pamplona”, but I have to admit I wondered if he’d be up to it. He was. In fact, he was amazing! 4 Spotlights
