...Pirate Radio” puts the music center stage. Over its two-hour running time, Curtis has assembled a massive classic rock playlist of over 50 songs that never feels out of place against the on-screen action. Classics like “My Generation” and “Jumping Jack Flash” are immediately identifiable, but lesser known performers like The Hollies or Darlene Love fit just as well. Occasionally, Curtis takes a more literal approach; Cat Stevens’ “Father and Son” plays during a moment between Carl...
...success of a show like “The Sorcerer,” with a fundamentally weak plot only resolved by a deus ex machina, depends largely on its soloists, whom stage director Davida Fernandez-Barkan ’11 manages effectively. The role of Alexis is well handled by Nelson (in last Saturday’s matinee performance). His strong tenor and zestful portrayal of his foppish, affected character provides many of the performance’s most rewarding moments. In particular, his over-the-top exchanges with his father, played with great aplomb by Yashinsky, are delightful...
...decision of a group of protestors—which included several Harvard students—to stage a “sleep-out” in support of climate-change legislation last Monday evening in Boston Common might strike observers as odd. Yet while setting up tents in the very tame wilderness of central Boston is peculiar, the cause the demonstrators supported is not. The students, through their transient tent city, intended to call attention to climate change and show support for introducing a bill that would require Massachusetts to be powered with 100-percent renewable energy...
Given Harvard’s rhetoric about sustainability and “Green is the New Crimson” campaign, it is disappointing that, when the university was approached by Harvard students interested in staging a sleep-out for climate change on the Harvard campus, administrators rejected the students’ petition. Allowing the students to stage a protest here would have helped to raise awareness on campus, showcased Harvard’s commitment to dealing with the pressing problem of climate change, and avoided what is now a headache for the administration and protesters alike...
...administration already made the poor choice of not allowing students to stage a sleep-out in a controlled environment where there was no risk of lawbreaking—it should not compound one folly with another. This cause in particular is in line with Harvard’s mission, and its supporters should not be needlessly burdened. The administration should refrain from blocking harmless protests and potentially meting out unwarranted punishments and instead show that it agrees that climate change is a cause worth sleeping...
