Rene's success does not end with Song. At a party, he meets another version of his fantasy: a Danish student, played by Alexis Loeb '02, who within minutes of striking up a conversation asks him if he wants to fool around...
...production of Mamet's masterpiece at the Loeb Ex does far more than simply present this world to those of us who live behind Harvard's ivy-covered gates. It carries us to that world and makes us live and breathe in it so that it's almost a disappointment at the end to discover that we're back in Cambridge, that the world that encompassed us for two hours was made of nothing more than words spoken by actors...

Clad in bodysuits of various neon and tie-dyed colors, the dancers marched in perfect unison onto the stage in the opening number, "Speak to Me," like drones from a futuristic world where money clangs and clammers in everyone's gigantic communal...
