...expects a gang member to turn traitor. "They are blood brothers," says Coons. And any potential rat would be killed by the others. But the cash they have on hand (less than $70,000) will eventually run out. Unless they are captured (the reward is now $300,000), expect the gang to strike again. As the note they left in prison said, "You haven't heard the last...
...West Bank and Gaza Strip, a dirty counterpart to the intifadeh is gathering pace, marked by deceit, ambush and death. In the past two months, Israeli special units have assassinated at least 13 Palestinians like Abu Sway who they believe were involved in attacks against Israel.

Luckily, however, these early jitters disappear as the play moves onward. Rayd Abu-Ayyash '01 gives the production's most outstanding performance as Creon, King of Thebes, whose Machiavellian exterior hides a more compassionate realism that cares more for the living than for the dead. Declaring Polynices a traitor was a political expediency, yet Creon argues it has created a peace that Antigone's actions may threaten. Abu-Ayyash has Antigone's most finely drawn character in Creon, to be sure, but he does not shrink from the task, maintaining a strong, clean elocution and succeeding at keeping his long...
