...things she will do for love, like the things Sweeney will do for vengeance, pile up invisibly around them and drive the show to its merciless conclusion.The audience sees it coming, and yet Flynn’s performance is so textured and so alive that you could almost trick yourself into thinking that everything will be OK. She’s funny, libidinous, and caring; when the accumulated weight of her own delusions finally becomes too much to ignore, her response is heartbreaking. “By the Sea,” Lovett’s sung fantasy of future...

(And unexpectedly curvy-sexy, in the mandatory straight-girl-has-to-get-drunk-and-go-crrraaazy scene.) Most of all, Kate wants only what?s best for her baby, even if it drives...
Harvard men’s lacrosse handily defeated Holy Cross, 12-6, on Saturday, snapping up the team’s first win in seven games. Sophomore midfielders Jason Duboe and Travis Burr combined for two hat tricks to account for half of the Crimson scoring.“It was nice to get a win under our belt after a pretty lengthy losing streak,” Duboe said. “We’ve been putting forth a pretty good effort in each game earlier this season.
