...woebegone novel Cries in the Drizzle - originally serialized in a Shanghai literary journal in 1991, but recently published in English for the first time. In this glum and afflicted work, a schoolgirl blubbers when a snowball hits her; an unfaithful husband sobs at his wife's grave; a bride bawls when molested by her father-in-law; and, in the grisliest scene, a son keens into the void after a canine kills and eats his feeble mother...

Crutchfield ’09), to fight against the Saxons. He then overcomes various challenges to recover her when she is kidnapped by his archenemy, Oswald, King of Kent (Kerian E. Robertson ’08), and by Oswald’s treacherous magician Osmond...
...more comfortable on stage (and thankfully sang very little), paving the way for solid performances and a captivating if morbid ending. The women in “Bodas de Sangre” all dominated the stage. The lead female actor, Gabriela Bortolamedi ’10, convincingly portrayed the Bride. Although it was occasionally evident that “Bodas” was her first play, she pulled through strongly in the final scenes and gave a disturbingly good performance as a woman gone mad.But the night’s strongest acting was not that of Bortolamedi, but rather...
