Instead--and with a smile--she gives him directions. I decide to follow the young man toward the demonstrations, and soon I'm standing just outside the Graduate School of Design, in a throng of China supporters and protesters many hundreds strong. By my rough estimate (and much to my surprise) there are easily as many Jiang supporters as there are critics, with an extremely strong Asian presence in both camps.

And the shifting light cast onto the Loeb's backdrop pulls us quite compellingly into a world of perpetual twilight, as the pale red sun and the round white moon become difficult to distinguish from each other. The play also uses the simple but effective trick of a changing color palette to express a shifting emotional atmosphere...
