...equally important in supporting, pillar-like, a corner of the drama: The Mother, Amanda Wingfield (Margaret J. Barker '98); her son, Tom, the narrator (Brett Egan '99); his sister, Laura, who is slightly crippled (Dana Gotlieb '97); and Jim O'Connor, the Gentleman Caller whose visit marks the central Event of the play (Padriac O'Reilly...
...dusk to dawn curfew on the city's residents. Although officials said the restrictions were imposed to prevent looting and unrest among civilians, it is government soldiers who have ransacked other cities as Kabila's troops advanced.
