...unable to capitlalize on on-base situations, but tried to score anyway it could. In the top of the sixth, sophomore Amy Reinhard connected on a triple, sending the ball just inside the first-base foul line, and teamate Katina Lee headed toward home plate. Lee collided with the Friar's catcher at the plate, was unable to get the score and suffered an ankle injury in the process...

Even away from the family, A Different Person can seem like an elegant book-length footnote to Merrill's poetry: not a bad reason for the book to exist, though perhaps a letdown for consumers. (The chapters on Hans Lodeizen and on Kimon Friar and his house in Greece are especially relevant to specific poems in Merrill's early books...

He plays Rabbi Tuckman, a Friar Tuck stand-in who acts as master of circumcision with the slogan "Circumcision: Half-off". (Ouch!) His strong (only?) point is gratuitous penis humor, used so that the kids in the audience, who should be seeing "Snow White," would get a chuckle. Some people, such as Brooks, should not direct and act at the same time--nor, for that matter, should we let them do either separately...

...Blake Lawit, as the Duke, at times gets carried away with this eccentric portrayl. The Duke,, especially when disguised as the friar, appears several flights short of the attic, losing some of the sinister edge to his character. Sinister transformations abound in Alan Ackerman's portrait of Angelo. The upright moralist degenerates into nymphomaniac with an anguish that would evoke sympathy from the most severe judge. Breheny's wide eyed innocence at the start of the drama captures the virginal Isabella perfectly.. But her maiden- in- distress scenes later on lack the same dramatic conviction...
