The intersection of Appian Way and Garden Street lies opposite the dimly-lit Cambridge Common and only a short walk away from various Graduate School of Education (GSE) buildings. GSE student Cynthia Lee, who works at nearby Gutman Library, said that she considers Cambridge Common somewhat unsafe. “I feel safe everywhere except for the Common because I hear it’s not safe to walk there at night,” Lee said. “I walked through the Common last night at 11 [p.m.], briskly and very cautiously...

...Kawaller’s Sophie seems to succeed in her mission, it is largely because of the “father-daughter” dynamic, which is somewhat forcibly and awkwardly established in the script between Mahler and Sophie from the beginning of the play. (At one point, Sophie pointedly asks Mahler, “What is your father’s name?
