Lots of students and everybody needs to have a part. Both plays were heavily cut, the subplot from the Prize all but disappeared. I'm sorry to say it since I do have a vested interested in B&F, but the production was less than my hope or fancy made it.

The South Coast Repertory Theatre in Orange County, California is premiering Amy Freed's "The Beard of Avon" on Friday, June 1. From the SCR press releases it sounds like Freed's and Dorian's plays are almost interchangeable, except that she adds Francis Bacon and Elizabeth I to the mix. Maybe Dorian is fronting for Freed and Freed for Dorian.

One assumes that things can be argued with passion and conviction without accusing people of being donnish, as you just did: >Messrs Cox and White can retire to the senior common room if they wish. Surely this is a very clear example of an ad hominem taking the place of a real argument. As Cicero would say, "when you have no argument, abuse the plaintiff". Or accuse him of donnishness, if that's your preferred form of abuse. Politeness isn't just a matter of being "touchy-feely", and your diminutive is only an effort to evade the real ethical issues that confront us when confront each other. The question of why we ought to be concerned with one another in academic debate strikes me as being no different from the issue of why we ought to care for each other at any other point, or for that matter, at all.
