...plenty of action to offset the unusually long running time. As the film progresses, the tone remains predominantly serious (befitting a story set on Death Row), interspersed with lighter scenes of optimism and hope. Edgecomb's urinary problems, painful as they are to watch, provide a small degree of comic relief, but the main source of smiles comes in the form of a mouse named Mr. Jingles. The curious mouse, discovered on the floor of the Green Mile by the guards, becomes the pet of one of the inmates, Eduard Delacroix (Michael Jeter). The image of a convicted killer giggling...
...which they live and about the adults that they are becoming. Their afternoons are full of tea and brandy, while their evenings are full of more risqu behavior: applying to law school or sneaking out to have sex. The play is a comedy, and by focusing on its comic aspects, director Dorothy Fortenberry '02 successfully avoids the preachy and whiny mess that the material could easily become.

The sub-plot of Bela and Tess' love affair adds more fuel to the comic fire of Crazy...
...British couple on a mission to write a guidebook about the American West who find themselves staying in Lank's so-called hotel. As Eugene Fodor, Jonathan Dinerstein '01 is ideally cast, complimented by first-year Laura Durso in the role of Patricia Fodor. The Fodors add yet another comic twist to the plot and capture every scene in which they appear...
