Bohrer ’10 through Dec. 11, this adaptation of the creature’s life from his discovery onward indulges the audience in the spectacular task of answering the question “What is it?” Part moral inquiry, part love story, and primarily ridiculous, “Bat Boy: The Musical” does not fail to entertain with its tragically comic and campy story of acceptance.

If their story is raw material for an American Shakespeare, then you might say unappeasable hunger was the fatal flaw. (See pictures of the lion of the senate, Ted Kennedy...
...everyday phenomena. William Wordsworth, Lord Byron and the Shelleys (Percy Bysshe and Mary) followed scientific breakthroughs like sports scores. Holmes traces echoes of the astronomical work of William Herschel, who discovered Uranus, through Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner ("the stars that still sojourn, yet still move onward") and into Keats' "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer": "Then I felt like some watcher of the skies/When a new planet swims into...
