...That The Pitchfork Disney, which played last weekend in the Loeb Experimental Theater, presents two exceptions to the rule is thus an understandably unnerving prospect. The play takes as its protagonists Presley and Haley Stray (Matthew D. Johnson ’02 and Catherine B. Gowl ’02), two 28-year-old siblings stuck in a permanent childhood. Gowl’s Haley is the first to grab the audience’s attention, shifting back and forth between petty child and fussy matron in a fine schizophrenic act. The production yields no funnier image than the pajama...
...Blue Velvet taught us anything, it was that releasing new, nasty blood into a population of relative innocents can yield horribly strange and potentially traumatic events.

There are jokes about our need for outside observers from El Salvador. But I haven't heard of any residents of the oceanfront towers in Palm Beach shouldering muskets.

...politics. It was a one-man show, a man and his crazies, until 1998, when Jesse Ventura showed that Reform could be a brand for fiscal conservative/social libertarian types who felt that money and obfuscation had ruined Washington. Too bad Jesse was a free-trader - Perot invited in The Pitchfork to chase out The Body, and now Buchanan is poised to chase out Perot...
