...sextet Entrain opened for Cliff. An odd mix of musicians from Martha's Vineyard, the band played an energetic and varied set, but never quite got the crowd going aside from a few loyal fans. The most colorful band member was an elderly man who dressed like some of my Grandpa's card game buddies, and looked like he belonged driving a tractor instead of laying down a ska line on the trombone. Entrain doesn't have that much of a reggae sound, except for some pseudo-Rastafarian moments (like their recent album title All is One) and their apparent...
Jaclyn Huberman '01 as Lily Craven (Archibald's deceased wife), Stephen Toub '01 as Neville Craven (his younger brother), and Jennifer Glick '00 as Martha (Mary's chambermaid) stand out for their vocal abilities as well. Glick's rendition of "Hold On" nearly had the audience on its feet in the middle of the show, as did Toub and Anderson's duet of "Lily's eyes." Huberman's performance is consistently on a professional level...
Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, a descent into the dark, twisted world of George and Martha (Robert Fuller and Anna Pond '00), is not for the faint of heart. The couple's disordered living room (transplanted to the Leverett Old Library Theatre) is ground zero for stinging wit, viscous revelation and absolute psychological warfare. Within the confines of their house, nestled in a quiet New England college town, an associate professor of history and his wife, the daughter of the university president, create an alternate reality for themselves and all who enter. Their lives...
...large part of the fascination embedded in Albee's play is due to George and Martha's apparent inability to separate. Through their abject loathing, both of themselves and each other, it becomes clear that at the bottom of the humiliations and insults there is a bond far too strong for either of them to sacrifice. It is this same, inexplicable attraction which prevents Nick and Honey from withdrawing from the domestic battlefield before they too are wounded. In fact, until the final moments, it seems as though the unlucky visitors may receive the worst of George and Martha...
...created for this compelling psychological drama rests squarely in the believability of the ensemble. Robert Fuller is absolutely remarkable as George; his eerie detachment-occasionally overwhelmed by his suppressed anger boiling over-carries the action of the drama and most of the audience's sympathies. Anna Pound's Martha puts up a good fight, but is just slightly too shrewish to make her incessant complaints of George's failure sound convincing. Though interesting characters themselves, Nick and Honey are reduced to back seat passengers as George and Martha speed headlong toward one another...
