When the Coalition for Awareness and Action included strengthening the Afro-American Studies Department as a demand of last Monday's student boycott of classes, many students were skeptical about offering support. "Divestiture, now there's an issue to unite an entire student body," a Kirkland House sophomore said last week. "But Afro-Am? For most of us, it's just not our fight...
...only the author." Shaw subtitled the play "A Fantasia in the Russian Manner on English Themes" as homage to Anton Chekhov, whose Three Sisters appeared earlier this semester at the Loeb. The imprint of Chekhov's style is apparent in Shaw's reliance on dialogue, rather than physical action or plot development, to express characterization and the atmosphere of pre-war England. But while the Loeb production evoked a dismal and saturnine mood, emphasizing the tragedy in Chekhov's tragicomic style, this version of Heartbreak House is too delightful a farce to be subdued by Shaw's satire of social...

It abounds in action, making it less talkative than Man and Superman or Saint Joan. The characters are more three-dimensional and very finely drawn; they espouse philosophies, instead of embodying them, as is so often the case with Shavian types. Often, in fact, they seem to echo characters of other plays by Shaw, only they turn out not to be what they seem. This motif runs through Heartbreak House...
