...London. We read this manners book, called What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew which was heaven. I realized that the thing about this period was that everything was sacrificed for the sake of appearance. [The costume man told me] one's trousers must be so tight they show one's mood...
...cracking off-color jokes, and one of the apostles (but not Simon, played by Stefan H. Atkinson '03) is still nursing a hangover. Grab some of His body and blood and pull up a tray: it's time for "The Last Supper" la Jesus Christ Superstar, the show (two millennia in the making) that opens tonight on the Loeb Mainstage...

You can't have missed Tuesday's and Wednesday's staged Last Supper in front of the Science Center. Publicity has been quite a point of contention for the show. Although now the campus is inundated with the slick, black, official posters for the show, the previous weeks' many teasers took on the Stations of the Cross, Harvard-style, making anyone walking around campus an unwitting pilgrim on a very postmodern Via Dolorosa...
