Since August, we have seen over 400 cases of influenza-like illness, with nearly 300 undergraduates affected going to UHS. Our strategy has been three-pronged. First, we have been educating the Harvard community about flu prevention by advising good hand washing, covering one’s cough, and social distancing from sick individuals. Second, this fall we implemented a large-scale immunization program offering 17,000 vaccines against the seasonal flu. Through this effort, we were able to inoculate over a third of the undergraduate community. Finally, we have been advising self-isolation for individuals diagnosed with ILI. About...

Yet as the show progresses, the actors become more comfortable in their roles, and the production shifts from a clever tongue-in-cheek commentary on social performativity into a relatively normal presentation of Shakespeare’s play...

...production. As mentioned, the scenery is mostly just barroom décor completed by a totally inexplicable jigsaw pattern painted on the floor. The lighting has a few select moments where it explicates the atmosphere of a scene, but otherwise it does little to aid the drama at hand. The sound is a dismal effort, relying largely on tacky, cartoonish underscoring that reduces the tone of any given scene to garish musical stereotypes...
