HRDC President Nicholas J. Wyse '84, who has been sitting in on the Faculty review committee's meetings, cited the establishment of a Faculty-appointed liaison as the most important change that should happen...
...Nick Wyse as Romeo supports her admirably, as does Benjamin Evett as a surprisingly young and hip friar Lawrence, who appears to function essentially as Romeo's freshman proctor. (In one of the show's nicest and most economical touches. Romeo, visiting Lawrence's cell grabs a Coke from the fridge before settling down on the bed to confess.) Rauch occasionally requires this thoroughly alert crew to do something odd--kill one another with picnic cutlery, for instance, or mutely clutch miscellaneous blankets and bedding around their shoulders in mourning for Juliet's initial "death."

As Lestile, the young British hostage. Nick wyse finds the right balance of cynicism and naivete. Like the tenants of the lodging he loves his country, but he doesn't fully comprehend the war-especially when confronted with the possibility of his own execution. Wyse captures Leslie's confusion and terror without forcing the pathos of his plight Holley Stewart...
