...patrician stage manner might seem out of place among all those urban, lumpen actors with revolutionary dreams - Luther and Stella Adler, Lee J. Cobb, Elia Kazan, Bobby Lewis, Clifford Odets, Jules (later John) Garfield - but the Group needed a leading-man figure, and Kirkland filled the bill. In ?Men in White,? he played the doctor role that Gable would take in the MGM film adaptation the following year. He appeared in Odets? ?Till the Day I Die? and in the title role of ?Case of Clyde Griffiths,? an adaptation of ?An American Tragedy? staged by Lee Strasberg. After leaving...

As much as possible, the art object should be based on a single form that announces itself all at once or on a repeated form that produces a similar effect. It should not involve varied surfaces or a balance of different...
Truer is the production’s Stella (Andrea D. Leahy ’05), Stanley’s wife and Blanche’s sister. She’s not Williams’ most three-dimensional character, but Leahy interprets Stella as solidly as Williams allows. She’s a Stella who bestrides Stanley’s and Blanche’s dark worlds and somehow manages to remain a good and worthy person through it all—a Stella who contains both sensuality and sensitivity, reconciling them with a spirit of endearing fraternity...
