...have a copy of the original play on hand, but if that isn't lifted straight out of Coward, I'll eat Larita's cloche. (Not until after I've worn it a bit though. Charlotte Walters' costumes are perfection.) I suspect this is also the case with almost every line uttered by Furber the butler, played by the droll and dry Kris Marshall...
...unfortunately, that also tends to keep the audience at a distance. Even Larita, who is so likable thanks to Biel, is a bit of an emotional mystery. She tells us why she married John, but we still aren't sure what she could have seen in him; he's almost embarrassingly boyish.

In the midst of a recession, Harvard is in a better position than almost any other large institution to support the local community and national economy through providing fair and stable jobs. If Harvard thought it worthwhile to create these jobs, then it has the responsibility to keep them when Cambridge, Allston, and America need them the most. If Harvard continues to benefit from taxpayers and local community members, it must meaningfully and equitably...
