...bare stage accompanies most of the action, and this places the actors and the music in an even more central position than seems appropriate. Though the actors’ movements generally fill the space well, the choreography tends towards the clichéd and lacks the originality that might have really livened up the emptiness. Costumes help make the changes in time and place clearer; but in the end, it is really up to the three leads to carry the show...
...director William K Weaver ‘98-’03 indulged in another nude circumnavigation of the Quad: his ass cheeks were spotted flapping in the early-dawn wind on Saturday. “Nothing cleanses my system and brings balance to my nutsack like a few bare-assed laps when the morning dew is fresh,” Weaver exulted.

Daily exercises sharpened both his physical and mental control: 30-minute handstands were followed by meditation; bare-handed wood chopping was a prelude to chanting sutras. "Buddhists believe in reincarnation," Yan Ming says, "and I figure I must have been a martial artist or a monk in a previous life. It all felt very natural to me." By the age of 17, he could dangle...
