Harvard freshman Julie Fromholz worked to get out of the jam as Paula Renaud lined out and Tricia Matthews hit a fly out to centerfield. Brigham tagged from third and almost got caught in a run-down, but a Beth Reilly throw hit the runner in the shoulder and bounded away. Brigham and Matylewski both scored to give Holy Cross a 2-0 lead...
...second, Harvard displayed the heads-up defense which has characterized its play this season. With a runner on second and nobody out, Reilly stopped a hard-hit ball to third for a put out, junior Lee Polikoff struck out Renaud, and catcher and Captain Nancy Prior picked off the Holy Cross runner at third...

Gradually, the red cloth is torn off and the Renaud home emerges, but his disorientation in the still-alien household during this opening scene works to underscore Swartz' intention to keep the audience as close to Gaston as possible, revealing nothing to the spectator before it becomes directly significant for the central character...
...Renaud family essentially acts as Gaston's burdensome conscience. The individual emotions of each member are underplayed so that each becomes an accuser and judge to the young man. In previous roles, (Glass Menagerie, Spring Awakening) Kirsten Harris has always managed to be a very believable mother, and as Madame Renaud she is no less maternal but adds a subtle cruelty to her role. This edge is almost ideal for the guilt and resentment she must force upon Gaston. Jennifer Burton, who portrays Gaston's sister-in-law lover is almost sinister, taunting her brother in-law, forcing...
