...Jackson pulls it off. The ingenious set, designed by Jess R. Burkle ’06, complements these seamless performances. Chairs line either side of the Ex and the actors perform in between them. Brown packing boxes serve as the building blocks of the set, and Jamie and Catherine transform them into couches, a bed, a pier, or whatever else they need to revisit their memories. Behind them, a series of photographs of the couple slide up and down floor-to-ceiling wires, and shield the accompaniment. Lastly, two hanging windows face either side of the audience?...

It was opposition to communism that brought together a disparate group of socialists, free marketeers, intellectuals, dockworkers, lawyers and university professors to found Solidarity a quarter of a century ago. Now members of that group have a chance to transform Poland once again. "It's a pity they haven't created one party," says Ewa Januchowksa, 30, who runs a strawberry farm in Wagrowiec in western Poland with her husband; she's certain the time is right for members of the movement to take charge.
