Despite the play's conceptual flaws, it is both extremely entertaining and moving. The actors are all fine (especially James Cannon as Brad, who is excellent), and the dialogue is natural and moves at a fast clip. Peter Jones, directing his own play, keeps the scenes tight and imaginative. What's more, there's the most terrifying bar brawl I've ever seen on a stage, which should be seen before somebody falls off the platform and breaks...

The Harvard power play had been batting at a lowly, 290 clip for the season, but against B.U. it was awesome, despite the absence of Jimmy Thomas on the left point. Thomas missed the game with a head injury he incurred against Cornell the night before...
