...General Santos City in the southern Philippines, one of the planet's great tuna-fishing ports. By 6 a.m. on an August morning, the heat at the docks - a raucous, clanging, blood-and-guts tangle of 10,000 buyers, sellers, porters and men whacking rusty knives into silver skin - is unforgiving. Boat crews crouch in patches of shade on deck, smoking and waiting for their wages. The boats' hulls, sloshing with bloody ice water, are almost empty, only a few shiny bellies lolling in the slush.

Inside Ocean Canning's processing plant, rows of men and women in blue smocks skin, bone and pack thousands of fish into cans sent to customers in Europe.

Instead, check out my bigot meter... telling you that when I see faces of black people, I think...
...underlying story is fairly simple. Sickly with a skin disease, revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat (Mark A. Moody ’07) spent much of the revolution in a bathtub, writing pamphlets and soothing his sores until he was murdered by Charlotte Corday (Elyssa Jakim ’10). Performed in the insane asylum, the act’s unfolding is rich and nuanced. The cranky, nervous Marat is played by a paranoiac who at times must be detained because of his episodes; his words are twisted and debated by the cool and assured Marquis de Sade (Olivia J. Jampol...
