...show, though, is delivered by Jaclyn A. Huberman ’01, who is perfection as the Baker’s Wife. Her character actually seems to grow on stage, becoming more mature, loving and trusting. “Moments in the Woods,” her second act soliloquy, is not only vocally accomplished, but of greater intensity and emotional caliber than many performances I’ve seen on a Broadway stage...
...many new ways can one say “Frailty thy name is woman” or “Words, words, words” or that great non-line “To be or not to be?” I say non-line because that fabulous soliloquy is no longer something to be said by a character; it is something to be mouthed by an audience. One can hardly go to a production of Hamlet without sitting in earshot of somebody whispering right along with Hamlet’s musings. The worst actors play into this instinct...

The borders of your consciousness are slyly overrun. More fun than a funhouse excursion, as intimate as Molly's soliloquy in Ulysses, it's a work that places all your synapses on a new kind of high alert. Is this the future of digital art? Then let a thousand digits bloom...

Also moving is young Blackman, who wears the forlornness of game show prodigy Stanley Spector like the best...
...shoulders of another. Throughout the play, Egan remains the most believable. In spite of the attempt to detract from the religious overtones, it would be difficult to not symphatize with Dr. Faustus in his final attempt for redemption. Here, director McClelland '02 divvied up Faustus's last soliloquy to the cast who in some literal and figurative sense stole Fautus's final plea for God. Equally appropriate was McClelland's decision to impart the additional role of Chorus to vigilant Lucifer (Peter Richards '01), giving the Devil the first and final words. Although Marlowe probably intended to have the conclusion...
