...Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies, facilitator John Rockwell’s voice rang with exasperation as he pushed Clarke to explain her interpretation. Did a feminist interpretation, he asked, determine the play’s opening scenes—which feature Karen MacDonald as an impudent Hippolyta, swollen with mute resentment of her husband Theseus (John Campion), the top-heavy emblem of dour autocratic unreasonableness?

With apologies to Bronislaw Malinowski - whose pioneering treatise on the Trobriand Islands off New Guinea led to studies of the ways in which the islanders appropriated cricket and turned it into a native ritual - let?s explore how we Americans took over the primitive sports of soccer and rugby and adapted them...
