...David Cromer - the Chicago-based director who won acclaim for his recent off-Broadway revival of Our Town - handles all this with sensitivity and solemnity. (This is a real rara avis in New York theater: a play without laughs.)

She converted the three-point play to put the Peahens up by eight. Cromer added a bucket to make the score 54-44, and the Crimson, reeling in the midst of a 12-point St. Peter's run, took a timeout in an attempt to stop the bleeding...
