...Chitwan's ex-guerrillas certainly appear eager to make the switch to civilian life. Neat gravel paths cross through manicured lawns; Bollywood songs blare from a thatch-roofed cabin. Yet conditions in this and the six other main Maoist cantonments are squalid - food and potable water are always in short supply, and the camp doctors grumble about a lack of medicines from the interim government.

Poppel ’09, I found myself wishing that someone had gone digging through Shakespeare’s last, great, plotless Romance with a little more enthusiasm. While this production has some neat dramatic tricks and a few lovely moments, its incredibly rich script floats by with little to no examination. Why do a play if you’re not going to sink your teeth into...
