Additionally, elitist though it may be to say, performing the play in English instead of French automatically robs some of the truest life of Anouilh's words. Sawyer has not done a tremendous amount to reinvigorate the script and turn her production from a fine staged reading into an evocative drama. This Antigone is rich in ideas but never comes around to engaging the senses...
Titles in this show conspicuously, though ostensibly coincidentally, refer to a consciousness or mental presence. Emily Cheng's "The Most Violent of all Pleasures" and Heather Hobler-Keene's "Memory of Lost Thought" presuppose the Hegelian "Idea." Adding a gloss of abstraction, they are not merely descriptive.

It's a funny movie, but only in the way that funny, badly dubbed Asian kung-fu movies with stupid appeal...

Because that's what they would call it, even though I think it's one of the best departments at Harvard, the VES department, at least it was when I was there. I applied to two classes, sculpture and filmmaking, and I didn't get into the sculpture class, but I got into filmmaking. And I really...
