...PAST few years, Harvard's Mainstage has acquired a reputation for seriously strange and bizarre theater: from Paul Warner's Rocky Horroresque stylistics to Kevin Jennings' psychedelically lit social messages, the Mainstage and the HRDC have self-marginalized themselves with a Spartacist zeal. In a recent effort to make the Mainstage more accessible as well as more profitable, Shakespeare and Bernstein have replaced Aeschylus in drag...
