...disintegration of the Hogan family. The family’s destruction is catalyzed by the play-opening plane crash in which Phyllis Hogan and her 11-year-old son Bishop (Christopher J. Carothers ’11) are stranded on a deserted island. As his family struggles to survive, patriarch Howard Hogan (Noah A. Hoch ’11) becomes more involved with his porn-star mistress Pam (Ella G. Gibson ’13) back at home. Once the family reunites, the four characters clash with disastrous results...
...theories into action. Zeus occasionally intervenes in Perseus's favor, while Hades materializes at Palace Argos in an inky cloud to threaten the city with imminent destruction unless Andromeda is sacrificed to the Kraken, a giant sea monster. In a way, the actors are playing the same opposing characters, patriarch-savior and lurid brute, that they embodied in Schindler's List, except that their pawns here are not the Jews of Germany but all humanity as represented by the people of Argos, and that these two grand figures are a side show to the crusade led by Perseus...

The two women inevitably clash, as do the two brothers. Maid Cheryl (Amber Iman) and patriarch Joe LeVay (Wendell W. Wright) observe the couples’ dynamics interestedly as they mask secrets of their...

They shined in the air, taking the top spot in the ski-jumping competition, but broke down on the ground, finishing seventh in cross-country. (Norway, the patriarch of the sport, came in fifth.) In the afternoon, a steady snowfall turned the cross-county course into a postcard. American Brett Camerota, who at 25 is the youngest member of the U.S. team and supposedly its weak link, finished almost three seconds ahead of Finland's Ryynaenen in the first leg of the relay, giving the Americans the lead. American Todd Lodwick...
