...Small Time Crooks_, Allen actually gives up most of the screen time to Tracy Ullman who easily might score an Oscar nomination (in the slot usually held for one of Woody's actors) next March; Ullman's Frenchy has the unenviable task of eliciting the audience's empathy even though we know exactly where the character is headed. But Ullman never lets her characer degenerate into parody - she forces the audience to consistently question whether Frenchy is _changing_. Part of Ullman's charm is that she doesn't fall into Woody Allen's typical neurotic rhythms - her dialogue with...
...time, the Mix Master ceded his set to a freestyle free-for-all that proved to be a second highlight. Canadian MC Choclair, blatantly pushing all things Toronto in his Raptors jersey, offered some quality pro-Canadian rhymes over Black Rob's "Like Whoa," and Rahzel continued to amaze, though his freestyle abilities are clearly an order of magnitude weaker than his skills as the human beat...

These shows represent a welcome and long-overdue change after a fall season that passed without a single Shakespeare production on campus.

Though underclass students may wonder what is so easy about finding free time late in the semester, for senior directors the time could not be better for one last show. "I'd directed...
...most part, though, the directors' choices to do Shakespeare need no explanation beyond the excellence of the plays. "Why do many Shakespeares go up? [Because] he's a damn good playwright," said David Corlette '96, one of the designers of Trollius and Cressida's rave-style lighting. Director Martijn Hostetler '00 agreed, saying "I think people choose do to Shakespeare because he's a terrific writer. Many times during our rehearsal process we'll read over a certain passage a couple of times, and marvel at how wonderfully complex and expressive...
