Around Heidi flit a host of eccentric characters who add color and humor to the play. As Susan Johnston, Heidi’s volatile best friend, Emily B. Hyman ’13 was both boisterous and comical. She portrayed extreme change with grace. At the play’s beginning, she is a loud member of a woman’s collective in Montana.

A lightning strike? Some catastrophic technical failure? The first two explanations have largely been discounted (no terrorist group has claimed responsibility, and planes are built to shrug off lightning strikes).
