...Wang ’09, Barry A. Shafrin ’09, and Zach B. Sniderman ’09, the performance featured works by the playwrights David Ives, Tom Stoppard, Anton Chekhov, and Alan Bennett. Each play was presented in a straightforward manner, without any nonsensical or superfluous elements added to a production for the sake of being “original.” The evening began with the one play that could have benefited from a bit of creative tinkering. Ives’ short work, “Words, Words, Words,” is a humorous...
...with a class of journalism students on the side. The over-the-top first couple of episodes combine "L&O"?style forensicism with the supposedly colorful antics of a suite of journalistic clich?s, played by a misused cast of fine actors (Bebe Neuwirth, Lili Taylor, Hope Davis), and neither element works here.

"There is a lot of wonderful contemporary music, and the element of individual taste…is just as important in the 20th century as it has been in the 18th and 19th centuries," he said. But, true to form, Barenboim didn’t confine himself to discussion of music. Criticizing American cultural exceptionalism, he jokingly made a formal appeal "for the name of this country to be changed to what it really is: The United States of Central North America...
