...Jack Cutmore-Scott ’10, as Valentine, is the show’s playboy centerpiece. As a struggling dentist in the first act, Valentine is uncomfortable and frustrated. Soon enough, he and his landlord, Mr. Crampton (Thomas A. Dichter ’08) are invited to a lunch by the sea with the Clandon fam-ily. It’s the perfect setting for Valentine’s quick wit and crooked smile...

Israel's Dichter claims that Iran made its first overtures to Hamas in 2001 and that Khaled Mashaal, the Syrian-based leader of Hamas, is a "frequent flyer between Damascus and Tehran."
