...painful self-restraint; his performance's major flaw is that, in moments of high emotion, he tends to rip through his lines too quickly to make them entirely comprehensible--a shame, given that so much of the richness of this play derives from the poetry of its dialogue. Dan Berwick '01 does an excellent job in the smaller role of Victor, apparently an object of Yerma's repressed desire; the performers' hesitation and stammering body language when the two share the stage is understated to just the right degree...
...Sheflin, who play Constance and Mrs. Partlet, give commendable performances both vocally and dramatically, through Sheflin runs out of fresh facial expressions rather quickly.

One of these women is Freida Hunter-owner, manager and driving force behind one of South Berwick's central gathering places, Flynn's News. The atmosphere and the attraction of the place came largely from Freida herself. Besides bearing the financial burden for supporting her family, Freida was fuelled by a genuine concern for her regular customers at Flynn's, both young and old. Her dedication...
