...song itself tries to assert her "woman in me" mantra and it's not too bad. But a girl wearing a leopard print coat and hood in the desert? What was she thinking? The video's plot's pretty simple: Shania looks hot (I mean literally--she's gotta be overheated in that animal skin), she rejects like five different hitchhikers for no apparent reason (including a white boy who looks uncomfortable in his sheik outfit), and she ends the video without a ride, lonely and overdressed in the desert. The lyrics of the song wax poetic about needing...

...Through comedy, Wilde wittily establishes the importance of identity, exploring how a particular name establishes legitimacy in the hearts of lovers and in the eyes of society. Despite its serious implications, this exploration is nothing if not entertaining. Remarkably, the new production of Wilde's masterpiece directed by Fred Hood '02 captures both the hilarity and the deeper implications of this nearly-canonical text...

...Miss Prism, Cecily's spinster governess, and Stian Westlake as Dr. Chasuble, the parish clergyman, give grounded performances. Cary McClelland makes for a delightfully indignant, buxom Lady Bracknell, whose voice breaks just a little too much, presumably for the sake of emphasis.

...Fred Hood and company have cleverly toyed with the concept of the known and unkown, an important element of the play, in their adaptation of Wilde's comic chef doeuvre. The set design, in particular, contrasts the real and the imagined, the familiar and the foreign, the west and the non-west. The first set, where the male protagonists first discuss their desire to play Earnest, is a wonderful mix of European fin-de-siecle charm and the exoticism of the East. Long silk saris drape the fabric wall paper of this 19th century English drawingroom. A hookah adorns...

...really the violence that scares parents--they've lived with and tolerated intimations of horror for generations. In Grimm's fairy tales, what does the wolf do to Red Riding Hood's granny or the witch plan to do to Hansel? When kids collect dinosaurs, parents, blinded by science, simply shrug when their children yell in the museum, "Look, mom, that allosaurus is eating the brachiosaur's baby!" After that, what can be objectionable about the too-cute-to-live Pokemon named Jigglypuff, a ball of fluff whose greatest power--not to be scoffed at--is a stupefying lullaby...
