...schoolgirls at a slumber party while they make fun of Portia's suitors in words and gestures. Chris Duffy's Bassanio is always wide-eyed and bewildered, looking like a teen on a first date. While he declares his love to Portia, Nerissa and Gratiano (John C. Buten) make puppydog eyes at each other and blow kisses from opposite sides of the stage...
Trying to imagine the Strindberg who wrote The Ghost Sonata, I think of a devoted Nietzschean suddenly confronted by a sweet little girl holding a lollipop and an affectionate puppydog.

Some pilots did not reject his overtures, but one, taking a dislike to his shy looks and gentle manners, took him away in an automobile, deserted him on a lonely highroad. The puppy made his way back. Finding that the beast survived even his own natural inclination to sniff at whirling propellers and perform in the path of descending planes, this flyer, one Waldo Robey, pilot of the Porterfield Flying School, took him 800 feet up in a plane, dropped him overboard. The diminutive body, smashed...
