...Tony Blair, Jacques Chirac, Berlusconi and other European leaders sing a mockery of "We Are the World" (in English): "We f--- the world, / We f--- the children, / We f--- the world, the forest and the sea / So let us do it." Maybe even the Comedy Central censors would shiver at that...
...exposition, Shafrin also brings a much-needed levity to the show, with frequent paranoid references to the power of “the mafia.” He adds small touches to the role, like a drunk’s stagger or an abused child’s shiver, that make Frederick’s character fully-fleshed.Dorin (an HRDC veteran who produced last semester’s “The Alchemist”) does a fantastic job of mediating these performances and evoking a mood that is dark and Gothic, yet not totally hopeless.

With each fall, the jungle itself seems to shiver: venomous black and green mambas slither to safety through walls of vines; gorillas caper away in terror; mauve, violet and golden butterflies settle like confetti on the dozers, or bulls, as the workers call them. Finally, as dusk settles in, a single tree remains in the clearing, a majestic 120-ft. hardwood. Their 450-h.p. engines screaming, shrouded in black...
