Monteleoni has to deal with the most under-written part of Frederick Knott's stage play. Because Rote's cold-blooded instincts are reigned in for so much of the play and only occasionally burst into flame, the trick is to maintain consistency without flattening the role (Tarantino, in his Broadway role, completely overplayed the part, turning Rote into a caricature doomed from the outset). Monteleoni makes Rote a smarmy, slinky villain--an interpretation which occasionally becomes awkward but ultimately gels. He explodes in the final scenes with Suzy in the dark, convincing us that he has no mercy...
...Huskies (24-7, 6-3 America East), sophomore outside hitter Jessica Knott, last year's America East Rookie of the Year, played a tremendous game, chalking up 14 kills and 11 digs. Sophomore Elizabeth Waclawik and freshman outside hitter Kristin Deatherage both added 12 kills apiece...

Net violations by the Huskies and a critical kill by Jellison cut the Huskies' lead to 9-4, but kills by Northeastern's Catherine Baker and Knott sealed the Crimson's fate. The Huskies went on to win the first game...
...Harvard senior Catherine Betti portended a promising start to the fifth game for the Crimson, but fatigue soon set in. Decisive kills by Knott and Deatherage sapped the Crimson's energy and permanently took away its momentum. An ace by Nash tied the game at five all, but Harvard never saw the lead again. Northeastern went on to win the fifth game...
...case you haven't heard, the wildly overrated writer-director of Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown has decided to amuse and confound the New York theater scene by accepting a part in a much-ballyhooed revival of Frederick Knott's classic 1966 thriller, Wait Until Dark. Tarantino plays Harry Roat, a ruthless drug smuggler who coerces two small-time hoods (Stephen Lang and Juan Hernandez) into helping him recover a shipment of heroin hidden in the apartment of an unwitting couple. When they discover that Suzy (Marisa Tomei), the homebound wife, is blind, the crooks wait for her husband...
