...leye-si-stra-ta, but by then the mispronounciation will seem only a minor quibble. Demos' portrayal of Dionysus is pompous, even smug, as it should be, but his pretentious remarks about respecting the sanctity of Aristophanes' play, whether performed in Athens or the Winthrop JCR, rings hollow. Director Estrada didn't, why should...
...that grows along the frontier, they form a grisly cavalcade of specters, wrapped in black rags. Many are in the last stages of malnutrition, or are ravaged by such diseases as dysentery, tuberculosis and malaria.

Reiffel, however, has turned an already obvious plot into a play that has the subtlety of a bulldozer. You know when somebody says something prophetic (thunder claps in the background) and you know when the witches are coming (bizarre piano medleys screech behind the gauze curtains). The best musicians, meanwhile--banjo and fiddle players Thornton Lewis and Matthew Brown--make one stage appearance and, sad to say, disappear...
