...Jackson with glorious pans across its digitized landscapes, the film’s dragons are awkward and strange. With outsized heads and teeth that jut out at uncomfortable angles, these are not the majestic and mysterious beasts of so many other films-—they are odd and misshapen, just like people. The movie’s message of empathy is thus underscored by its imagery...
...very bizarre musical, and I liked the idea of a show that functions on many levels,” says Walter B. Klyce ’10, who plays Bat Boy. “On the one hand, it’s almost Shakespearean in scope, with a misshapen tragic hero, a dysfunctional family, a lot of blood and guts, and general disorder in the Great Chain of Being.

Stabbing a finger in the direction of misshapen hillocks made of eroded mud brick, he describes massive battlements built to repel barbarian raiders from the north. Balkh, as the city was known, would have needed them. More than 1,000 years before Marco Polo visited its ruins, Balkh was renowned throughout the ancient world for its fabulous wealth and advanced culture. It was the birthplace...
