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...
...this is also a comedy of murders. There are chain saws and nail guns, and a severed head cellophaned in the fridge. But the carnage, like the sex scenes, is shot so pristinely that it becomes a nouvelle-cuisine feast; this is a splatter film Martha Stewart could love. The acting is similarly fastidious. A trio of beguiling actresses (Reese Witherspoon, Chloe Sevigny, Samantha Mathis) sing backup as Patrick's favorite victims...
...civic-institution-loving PBS) and reads--and lives out--a different story every episode. But the real stars are the words that the program's Sesame Street-esque skits, songs and cartoons cleverly bring to life, teaching kids to read along and sound out words onscreen. A Motown group, Martha Reader and the Vowelles, sings new vowel sounds; Dr. Ruth Wordheimer (played by Dr. Ruth Westheimer) helps patients deal with "long-word freak-out"; and in "Gawain's Word," a spoof on Wayne's World, jousting knights representing phonemes (sn and ooze for example) collide to make words (snooze...
