Dunster and Lowell were to serve as the two extremes of the Plan. Lowell was given a raised dais and designated the "formal" house; Dunster was given its sunken garden and called the "democratic" house.

The show at times is a bit fancy, at others a bit cute; and the Iliad yields less rewarding home-town stuff than the Odyssey does hotcha...
