...away." For a price: $260. And that was how two-year-old Phanupong Khaisri ended up in the U.S. He was a prop in the arms of a couple who had to look like a family: the man was part of an international prostitution ring, the woman an indentured servant he was smuggling into the U.S. Caught by the Immigration and Naturalization Service at the Los Angeles International Airport on April 11, the adults were swiftly deported. The INS was about to send the boy back too when the local Thai community got wind of the case. Who, they demanded...

To complicate matters, he arrives in the forbidden city of Ephesus, for which he is sentenced to die. That very day, his son Antipholus (Ari Appel '03) arrives, similarly searching...
...Adam Goodheart, Robin's faithful servant, Sean McGrath '02 also steals all of the scenes in which he appears. With his deadpan manner of speaking and almost robotic posture and carriage, Adam is the total antithesis of all the energetic, lighthearted singing going on around him, and his performance is outstanding. Other noteworthy performances include Neil Davidson '03 as Sir Despard Murgatroyd, Robin's younger brother, and the five men who make up the Chorus of Gentry and the Chorus of dead Baronets, the latter appearing with some unexpected special effects in the second...
