claire byrne 03 a married couple in their early forties concerning a third character anna played by meredith flaster 02 within the confines of a highly understated yet effective setting the banter between these char acters sets the tone for the rest of the play at times humorous but always confrontational deeley interrogates kate about anna her companion from long ago and ques tions what kind of person anna was the conversation is precarious and deeley's every word implies hostility between himself kate and anna anna soon joins the conversation and reminisces with kate the play quickly becomes a competition between deeley and anna for kate's attention deeley is kind of a weasley char acter who tries to control kate but he's really just a very weak man and he ulti mately fails bombino said as the play continues the characters drudge up more muddled memories and the audience realizes that not much of what the characters recall is factual two-on-one alliances begin to form between the characters and the play dissolves into arguments the audience was impressed with the dramatic tension in the performance it was really interesting to see how the characters interacted with one another because you are always getting the impression of tension in the air one parent said it's as if every exchanged word just adds more and more fuel to some invisible fire within the

the ilo realized it may be necessary to relax the last criterion strobl's paper focuses on unemploy ment in developing countries by specifi cally studying trinidad and tobago strobl said he believes trinidad and tobago serve as ideal case study because a more flexible definition of unemploy ment than the one given by the ilo has guided research there for years since 1963 the definition of unem ployment in trinidad and tobago has been an adaptation of the ilo definition the trinidad and tobago definition also includes those non-active job seekers who looked for work during a three month period preceding the interview and who at the time of the interview did not have a job but wanted one here a broader definition of unemployment is being used than the definition used in almost all developed countries and several developing countries in his paper strobl divided working dr eric strobl discusses with students the significant different categories of unemployment in developing
