...students look wistfully at this bygone era of rebellion and commitment. But this "look backward" runs the risk of idealizing the past, completely ignoring the problems of the previous decade. The Dunster Drama Society production of Hair (book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni, music by Galt McDermot) avoids this trap, however, by presenting a harsh picture of 1968 reality with a spirit of raw energy and vitality...

...made Connaught O'brien with dusky hair and slender perfections and a strong but quiet tongue, and Dermot McDermot honorable, sure in his saddle and loved by dogs-of which there are many about-terriers, deerhounds, foxhound packs and puppies, and the red setter Rory. He wrote the love-making of these two as a slow, certain thing of wry humor and restrained ecstasy, and, as the Irish are, a little...
