...lure to a classmate, Jenny (Gretchen Mol, the Vanity Fair cover girl who was in two Woody Allen films), and a threat to Jenny's fiancé Phillip (Frederick Weller, who played Brian Wilson in a recent Beach Boys bio-pic). Where attraction looms, in a LaBute play, pain must follow. It's his theme: that people, people like us, hurt people. He has the craft to ensure they do so instructively and entertainingly. The play wouldn't work as seductively as it does-the set-up, the darkening, the climactic switcheroo-without four beguiling actors who make their characters...

They do, however, allow one type of fish. "Tuna's been our compromise. We had a civil discussion over tuna," Cuckovich explains. But amidst the walls of beans, there is an undercurrent of meat-yearning. On a refrigerator covered in plastic magnet letters, the words "Meat Ball" are raggedly...
...Most residents agree that they live in the Co-op to escape Harvard at the end of the day. "[Harvard] feels like a day job," explains Reider. A former Quincy resident, Weller complains about the pervasiveness of Harvard in the square. "Here, you're in the real world. You walk by an elementary school at recess and little kids bump into your knees." One student, who recently returned to Harvard after taking 9 years off, explains that the reason he chose to live in the Co-op was because of his cats. Unlike any other Harvard house, the house...
