...events portrayed on stage may be hard to swallow for anyone who has not known strict, all-male, boarding school life, but the quality of the drama is extraordinarily high, and Steve Cosson, directing from a script by Peter Morris, achieves moments of intense emotion that wrench audiences in the theater and leave them with provocative images that linger.

Friday morning, however, President Bush received authorization from the U.S. Senate to use military force in the fight against terrorism. The President plans to call up as many as 50,000 members of the National Guard and Reserves to help in the rescue and relief efforts...
