...Polk’s Ko-Ko, whose every emotion plays itself out exaggeratedly across his face in complete keeping with the play’s nature. Also fantastic is Adam Goldenberg ’08 (who is also a Crimson columnist) as the haughty, money-grubbing official Pooh-Bah. As befits the character, he manages to seem both dignified and pathetic in each scene. The interactions between Ko-Ko and Pooh-Bah are easily the funniest parts of the show...

"I think they're under the delusion that things are this nice everywhere...
...Hardly a thing of beauty, the pier was designed for the official reception of British dignities that had flown in to Hong Kong's old airport, and then boarded a ferry to the heart of the city. And it hasn't hosted a British pooh-bah since shortly after midnight on July 1, 1997, when Prince Charles and Hong Kong's last British governor, Chris Patten, sailed away, having handed back the former colony to China...
