...Loeb Experimental Theatre from May 1-9, things are going to get even dirtier. Complete with contemporary costume design, a modern club scene setting, and a dirt pit constructed on stage, “’Tis Pity” is a complete reinterpretation of the Jacobean tragedy. According to Director Olivia A. Benowitz ’09, these changes were implemented so that the show will better resonate with a college crowd, even as it retains the scandalous elements that has made this particular play one of the most controversial works in English literature...

The Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club’s (HRDC) masterful presentation of Jacobean dramatist Ben Jonson’s “The Alchemist” succeeds in transcending its titular seventeenth century pseudoscience to provide a humorous look at the foibles of mankind...
...Jacobean dramatist Ben Jonson’s belief in educative comedy, the program states the intention of the play is to “better humankind by allowing people to see their own follies through the sugared depiction of comedy.” Co-directors Sean R. Fredricks ’07 and Simon N. Nicholas ’07 succeed admirably in drawing the audience into the play.
