...play. “There are some surprises I want to keep for the show, but basically, Joyce has a discussion in ‘Ulysses’ that is very subtle about Hamlet being a woman. That was huge,” says executive producer Rachel D. Libeskind ’11. “To me it’s always been this interesting idea, of Hamlet as a feminine character. I think ‘Ulysses’ has an inexorable link to Hamlet that I can talk about for hours upon hours.” Vartikar?...
...easy to portray, Aykroyd delivers her long monologues stuttering in a heavy southern accent all the while remaining incredibly understandable. The cast’s grasp on the play’s complex characters should certainly be commended. The set, conceived by the director in collaboration with Rachel D. Libeskind ’11, was pleasing to look at but did not comfortably mesh with the actual tone of the play.

What the 21st century should look like is still a contested question, but the contest is increasingly going to forms that are not broad, flat, pale and gray.

His career is proof that paying close attention to the neighborhood is a good way to find new avenues...
...that period would come some of the thinking that, as it turns out, has transformed the built world over the past decade or so. Daniel Libeskind was once mostly a paper architect. So was Zaha Hadid. But it was a moment that didn't sit well with the partners who would come together as SHoP in 1996. "Theorizing about buildings had become more important than building them," says Coren Sharples. "If you actually built, you were selling out. It was very disheartening." Adds Pasquarelli: "There were the guardians of culture, and there were the architects who just served clients. There...
