...Sunday is a tremendously challenging piece of theater to both an audience and a production team. Sondheim’s gorgeous, pointillist-inspired score is difficult on a first listen and far from easy to learn,” says director Adam R. Perlman ’04-’05. “The technical aspects of the show are also immense and quite challenging to design, create and coordinate. Yet on a slight budget, this group has excelled...
...Those sex scenes get punched up by being rendered in a near-photorealistic, pointillist style. They contrast sharply with the cartoonier look of the rest of the book. It's like the only reality for these people is when they are in bed together.

And its lovely bridges pay homage to generations of Harvard successes...
...order and ancestor worship that's far different from Taoism's mystical beliefs--they have, over a long history, fused together. They continued to do so outside China and are doing it again within China. Sociologists call what has emerged a syncretic faith, resembling more than anything else a pointillist painting in which every individual's beliefs are shaped and colored by specks of each tradition--and, at the close of the 20th century, by the color of money...
