...beautiful and accomplished woman -- said that "life is unfair." Well. Even later, one thought that in Kennedy's case, it might have been a good idea, for the sake of clarity, to rinse off any residue of self-pity and change "Life is unfair" to something like "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away...
...next to the adjective "pulled" as in talk of this year's Harvard baseball team. Three key players this season--sophomore Joe Weidenbach, junior Bryan Brissette and, most recently, sophomore Marc Levy--have gone down with the painful malady whose very utterance is sure to evoke mixed images of "Lord of the Flies" and thanksgiving dinner...
This just in--love isn't so brotherly in Philadelphia. Set in a time period when the streets of Philadelphia were better known for socialites than for Springsteen songs, The Philadelphia Story centres on the past, present, and possible future loves of spoiled ice princess Tracy Lord. With some strong performances from its cast, director Katya Nelhams-Wright's production is an interesting look at a troubled upper-echelon family.

Wolfgang Murad), her wedding promises to be a gala affair, drawing reluctant reporters Elizabeth Imbrie (Emily Gardiner) and Mike Connor (Jason Watkins...

With a beautiful set, designed by Hilary Hanson, the production has a look and feel that is the perfect backdrop for its high-society hijinks. The split indoor/outdoor stage brings the Lord's posh country mansion to life, though lighting difficulties detract from the reality of some outdoor scenes. The wide-open stage, while a visual delight, makes partial fades inadequate in concealing actors' exists and entrances. Despite these technical difficulties, however, The Philadelphia Story remains an enjoyable one, with a wistful feel...
