From the first moments, the action is set off as a play within a play. Each scene played by the agitators, moreover, is set off by their explanations, and directors Martin Andrucki and Frank Kinahan are careful to have each actor preserve the particularity of each of his different roles. Brecht is a master at building convincing symmetry into a play, and here the recurrent exclamations and questions of the chorus, either individual or collective, are set into dialogue with the group of leaders...
...MEASURES TAKEN by Bertoldt Brecht: Harvard Dramatic Club and Hum96v (Winthrop House), director Martin Andrucki, Loeb Experimental May 7-9 7:30 FREE...
Disproving the false barrier between academia and the arts, Winthrop House will be doing Brecht's "The Measures Taken," a production that originated in Martin Andrucki's Humanities 96v seminar on politics and theatre. Heading in an opposite direction from Brecht's political consciousness.

Natalie Lombard as the vacuous showgirl gives a good rendering of a cardboard role, and Martin Andrucki is sufficiently pompous as the guidebook writer. The acting in Fables, on the other hand, is an almost unmitigated disaster. Delia Sang gave a good performance in the first and third fables, but almost everybody else was uniformly awful. As bad as the script was, there were places, like the fourth fable, where the acting made it worse. But by then, no one gave a damn...
