...faculty interest as well as the currency of the Curricular Review have set the stage for actual change. And while one might assume that the theater community would whole-heartedly support such a move, the hour-plus debate on the topic at the last Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club (HRDC) open meeting demonstrated that while the original push for a theatrical concentration may have come from the theater community, it is still a complicated and contentious issue...
That The Physicists raises the bar for Harvard theater is clear, though to what extent its example can be emulated is an open question—works of this caliber can happen, even in the best of circumstances, only rarely. Whatever the case, the Harvard-Radcliffe Drama Club (HRDC) should be fiercely proud of The Physicists, a fruit of home-grown Harvard talent that surpasses even the laudable products of the Visiting Director’s Program, and its staff, cast, and crew have my unrestrained kudos

This is a mixed bag, and though I heartily endorse avoiding the temptation the Loeb presents to produce mammoth, overly-ambitious and preposterous casts-of-scores student theater mega-disasters (think: Chess), there is perhaps some as-yet-undiscovered middle ground that the HRDC can reach. Regardless, Gilead is a professional, entertaining, and overall excellent production that is a credit to its staff, cast, and the potential of the mainstage...
