...angel (Austin Guest '03) who ingeniously concealed his presence so that he was embodied only in the spotlight he directed at Faustus. This, combined with the cover art of the program, was just another piece of a conceptually consistent production, even if it seemed a bit cryptic at the time...
...Jewels for Sophia showcased Hitchcock at his best, spouting cryptic, conceptual lyrics over a mix of soft acoustic guitars and driving rock riffs. Its songs ranged from absurdist character studies ("Antwoman") to a genuinely haunting love story ("Dark Princess"). There are also two sneering but comical tributes: "Viva!
