...boyfriend Peter; his comic timing wasn’t bad, given the material, and his gestures jived well with his lines. The set, designed by Laura P. Perry ’04, was well-conceived and professionally executed.

But someday it may happen that the heavens will open, light will stream from the sky and you will realize that Radiohead is the only band in the world worth listening to. Possibly even, it will be another band. And you will remember these words, and gnash your teeth as you realize that you will never be able to make the others see what you mean when you say that this is the greatest music in the world. But look carefully and you may catch...
