After the Ex's expressly experimental purpose, the students have trussed up the Nobel laureate's adaptation of Sophocles' "Philoctetes" with smartly tailored costumes, special effects and a few playful hypotheticals all their own: With scripts at hand would the Greek Chorus, like the Three Fates, look more like directors than a traditional chorus merely commenting on the action? Could you make an Odysseus speech look extemporaneous if the chorus frantically flipped through their scripts looking for lines that weren't there...
...special effects, Institute productions also get frills like smoke, fire and a moving stage made possible by budgetary scraps the A.R.T. can throw their way.

...little-d demolished the Green Bay Packers 38-27 in the N.F.C. championship game, owner Jerry Jones walked into the room to the acclaim he so richly deserved, or paid for, depending on your point of view. "You did it, Big Daddy!" said a cowboy-booted courtier. Actually, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin and the other boys did it, but with the team about to win a third Super Bowl in four years, it's hard not to credit Jones, especially with that huge Nike symbol hanging from the cables above the field...
