...once a rowdy, sociable, exciting time for all involved. “The Donkey Show,” co-directed by Paulus and Randy Weiner, attempts to bring those good times back, by transporting the audience into the club atmosphere that many of them left behind in the 70s??and that some unknowing theater tagalongs clearly seem to have wished stayed that way. Even before the show begins, Tytania’s glittering fairies—adapted to the more modern interpretation of the term rather than the supernatural Shakespearean conception—work to set the tone...
...novel “Hopscotch,” one of the most beautiful, complex portraits we have of the idealism and subsequent disillusionment of that decade.

It should look into itself to build the Harvard of tomorrow...

At its weakest, it is preachy, as the characters step outside themselves to deliver the playwright’s views. The monologue on acquaintance rape, for example, was reminiscent at times of a “Sex Signals” talk: long on message, short on drama...
