...drama—were lifted. “Everything was restricted. Afterwards, the drama was written as a celebration of the return of freedom. This parallels the ’80s,” says Poppel. The genre as a whole uses parody and a touch of flamboyance to tell its story, and is notorious for its sexual explicitness. As it was written, “The Way of the World” consists of five acts; although Birnbaum chose to cut an hour of text from the play in order to make it more digestible for today?...

Because she is outside a given scene, she explains, she can tell the actors—divas or no—how they can make it better. Considering Birnbaum’s unqualified fondness for the people in the theater community, however, perhaps divas simply don’t exist at Harvard. In fact, the majority of her tightly-knit blocking group...
