...same sort of problem torments an otherwise solid production of The Tempest, an Adams-Quincy effort currently running in the Quincy dining hall.

On the other hand, Laura Young's Swan Queen was, for all her technical competence, thoroughly disappointing. The role is a showcase of breathtaking choreography, but Young moved from pose to pose as though composing the isolated frames of a film strip. A sense of fluid, organic wholeness was entirely lacking, and her uninspired dramatic portrayal...
