...overdose. The player, who takes the role of inspector, has been called in to investigate. He types commands into the computer, and the machine responds with descriptions of people and places and snatches of dialogue that develop the story. Suspects duck in and out of rooms; clues appear and disappear; characters lie low or kill again, depending on the player's actions. The story can unfold in literally thousands of ways. A typical investigation, including starts and restarts, can run 40 hours or longer. "It takes me three to six months to get completely through one," says Craig Pearce...

The lackluster production in the Quincy House JCR this weekend shows the effects of this gap in reasoning. Uninspired line-reading and pacing, added to a lack of attention to both the grand shape of the plot and the details of the illusion, can't entirely quench the snap and sparkle of Ibsen's dialogue or the power of the story he tells, but they...
