...counsel. Valerie the battered wife (Hilary Swank) needs to hear she has the courage to leave her brutal husband Donnie (Reeves). Poor afflicted Buddy (Giovanni Ribisi) needs to get those angry voices out of his head. And when prime rich bitch Jessica King (Katie Holmes) goes missing, her grieving fiancé (Greg Kinnear) comes to Annie. For though she chats with her dead grandmother, sleeps with a baseball bat beside her bed and has visions of the dead in her bathtub, Annie is quite the most sensible person around. Ah, the rural South, where nearly every-one - at least...

...world dominated by a linear fixation on the passage of time. In The Well, a bar so seedy that even the homeless avoid it, Matthew Circland (Jay Chaffin '01) must confront three alternate manifestations of himself from ages 12, 21 and 42 along with his father and ex-fianc; time no longer exists within the inescapable confines of this twisted reality, leaving both the characters and the audience guessing how much we may change the future or, in Matthew's case, the yet-to-be-past...

When hitching on Greyhound is your alternative to putting on the ring, get ready to live with a few little white lies. Dreamboat, unfortunately, doesn't deny a thing. He leads his governess-turned-love interest up the stairs to their attic, where Jane makes the acquaintance of Bertha, a homicidal maniac with a penchant for matches and a very valid marriage certificate to Rochester. This is what...

...when Livesey portrays that most vulnerable side of Hazel Ransome's mind under attack, our natural impulse is to fear for her safety. Hazel, the amnesiac at the center of things, loses her memory, and in an improbable web of deceit, her ex-fianc Jonathan scrambles to keep it hidden. During a phone call with Jonathan, Hazel goes unconscious for a short while, slips into violent seizures, then reawakens with no memory of the last three years.

...manages to look down his nose even at the towering Skeist. Price is similarly condescending as Baron Belcredi, weathering Matilda's insults and ruthlessly mocking Frida while always maintaining his panache. Cook brings great zest to the role of the attention-seeking Frida, and David Freeman '02 gives her fianc, the Marquis, an appropriately petulant reading. The four attendants are alternately hilarious and touching; Rakhe and Haynie are deliciously over-the-top throughout Act I, and both Asnes and Goulet have brief but priceless exchanges with Henry...
