...four young playwright's- Davis is 30, Durang 32, Pielmeier 33 and Kurtti 26- form no cohesive group, no lapsed-Catholic Mafia. They have responded to their shared history in tones ranging from reverence to rage, and no divine law ordains that they must continue to wrestle with the cassocked and habited specters of their youth. Instead, these veterans of Catholic schooling are following the first law of creation: write what you know. The nuns and priests of a generation ago impressed their small charges more than they realized. The steel-edged rulers with which they whacked so many...
...books. There, on that wall, Ahab storms. Hamlet mulls. Molly Bloom says yes yes yes. Keats looks into Chapman, who looks at Homer, who looks at Keats.

"Claus" t-shirts and buttons, as well as "Innocent" tote-bags became the rage for the "Free Claus...
...BATTLE WILL RAGE in the Quincy House JCR this weekend. The warriors will only brandish a toy pistol and a letter opener, but the combat will be fierce enough to keep the most listless audience enthralled. On this unlikely battlefield, a small, talented cast is presenting Strindberg's The Creditors. Not one blow is struck in this fine production, but it leaves the impression of a great carnage...
