...skillfully explores the notion of identity, a crucial focal point in existentialist theater, while provoking a wide range of emotions from the audience.“The Birthday Party”, written in 1958, is one of Pinter’s most popular pieces, as well as his first full-length play.

Class of 2013" includes a series of posts from a girl in Seattle about finding out she got turned down by Cornell, Brown, MIT and her first choice, the University of Chicago. Even some admitted-student groups are full of kids licking their wounds. Ted Williams was rejected from Yale but accepted at Wesleyan. When he joined the WesAdmits 2013 group, he found a number of other students in the same position. "There...
