Morgan Evans, the protagonist of the play, was acted with great skill by first-year Mwashuma Kamata Nyatta, a native of Nairobi, Kenya. Evans--an out-of-place scholar in the mining town--loves to learn, yet is not entirely able to tear himself away from other hobbies such as drinking and hanging out with his buddies. Nyatta intelligently portrayed this inward struggle with grace and thoughtfulness and was able to show us the many sides of his complex character, some of which were not entirely positive, such as his predilection for pub life.

Overall, veteran rocker Juliana Hatfield knows how to put on a polished, powerful rock show. MTV be damned; in a different venue with better ventilation, her talent and skill will be truly appreciated...

Think of her as Beavis's wet dream...
...conscious decisions. Those of us who were thrown out on the ice at age two-those who, as the saying goes, were asked to jump and answered "How high?"-run a tremendous risk of finding ourselves, 20 years later, too old to be impressive and lacking the more important skill of being able to make our own decisions. Perhaps this explains the anxieties of so many seniors who, four years ago entered Harvard as the nation's most promising young adults and who now find themselves facing graduation while helplessly searching for something to do with their lives...
