Oliver ’06 is a charming yet stern Irish caricature, complete with a thick accent, a giant shamrock pasted on the front of his hat and a habit of clicking his heels in a jig whenever he leaves the room. Tristan Tzara (Ryan Z. Cortazar ’06) is appropriately grandiose, dancing about the room and declaring his right to urinate in multiple colors. His affected monocle?...
