When students go inter-Housing in the evening, they have most likely forgotten the morning wisdom of their instructors. But at lunchtime, when they have just quit classes, they may remember some small parts of the lectures. They may even want to discuss them. Unless the classmates live in the same house, their aim is frustrated; there is no inter-House at lunch...
There may be some sort of peace at the moment, as opponents of internationalization argued. But that peace will last only until one of the armies decides it is the stronger.

William Prince as Orlando seemed somewhat less polished than the rest of the cast. The opening dialogue of the play, between him and Adam, the old servant, was too emotional for a beginning, but even Prince improved as the play progressed...
