...latest of these productions is “Léonie est en avance ou le mal joli”—translated by Shapiro to mean “The Pregnant Pause or Love’s Labor Lost” —an obscure 1911 one-act farce written by French playwright Georges Feydeau. During Europe’s “Golden Age,” also known as the Belle Époque, “[Feydeau] ruled the comic stage,” Shapiro says. Yet “The Pregnant Pause...
...into and out of all shades of emotion with ease. Even his battle of words and witty dialogue with Derrah’s Clov is pitch perfect, a delicate rhythm and timing established between the two that provides a bitterly comedic give-and-take. This verbal jousting keeps the one-act play moving at a swift pace. While LeBow is confined to his wheelchair, Derrah provides adept physical clowning, embodying Clov with distinct mannerisms (although LeBow, too, has his moments of physical comedy, wheelchair and all).

It is a short one-act play centered around monologues from its two main characters, Mrs. Venable (Danielle A. Aykroyd ’12) and Catherine Holly (Lauren N. Medina ’12). Mrs. Venable has gone mad over the death of her son, Sebastian. She refuses to accept that...
...prefer hearing an affordable, “big-name” artist like Third Eye Blind or spending that same amount of money on several smaller venues. If the College can’t afford a superstar (read: Ludacris), then perhaps it would be better to stop shooting for one-act shows and opt for less famous but more interesting artists. Last spring’s Mates of State concert in the Cambridge Queen’s Head Pub was well-attended and fun, proving that even Harvard students are capable of appreciating good music in an intimate setting.
