...much of his tone that night hinted at the treachery that was to ensue. Dylan took full advantage of the polite reception that his solo acoustic performance was receiving. On "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," every "s" is hissed like Shakespeare had intended. "The emptyhanded painter from the streets is painting crazy patterns on your sheets" cut through the silent night air like an icecovered blade. It is actually quite sickening how quiet the audience was. They clapped as if they were at tennis match. It was as if Dylan was singing to an empty room. Dylan continued...

Hopefully, BankBoston will have the Panazz Players back next year and make this an annual tradition. Otherwise, Epcot center will be the only place in the U.S. to enjoy Panazz...
When director Edith Bishop '00 and a cast of eight actors put up an unforgettable performance of Talking With last weekend at the Ex though, the script took on the trappings of high drama. Bishop and the actors pieced together an astonishing narrative, wrought with brilliant theatrical effects and still preserved the elusive spirit of the 11 characters out of whom the narrative and effects seemed effortlessly to grow. The 11 women still lay at the center of Talking With and a discussion of the play without a description of their characters and the inspired actresses who played them...
