🎭 When All of This Is Over, set in the early days of COVID quarantine, offers strong performances but doesn't quite come together. | ✍️ MJOberlander
It feels early to stage a play set during, and concerning the effects of, the early days of COVID-19 on its characters. We can still feel those days intimately, given the short passing of time, and the degree of veracity required to make this a world we want to and can meaningfully revisit is high. Glass Apple Theatre’s world premiere of Joel Z. Cornfield and Mark Smith’s one-act dramaWhen All of This Is Overglassappletheatre.
As a counterpoint to the emotional walls put up by Gemma, a type A lawyer, and Miles, a former Marine, their little sister and best friend join the fray and inject some energy, humor, and chaos into a fraught time. The cast does great work here in the way they cautiously and vulnerably relate to one another, but the writing takes a sharp left turn from realism, injecting too much hindsight and theorizing into a time when those parts of our brain were very difficult to access.

German brass for Benin Bronzes: Geochemical analysis insights into the early Atlantic tradeUtilizing geochemical analysis, this study identifies the sources of European brass used in the casting of the renowned Benin Bronzes, produced by the Edo people of Nigeria. It is commonly believed that distinctive brass rings known as “manillas”, used as currency in the European trade in West Africa, also served as a metal source for the making of the Bronzes. However, prior to the current study, no research had conclusively connected the Benin artworks and the European manillas. For this research, manillas from shipwrecks in African, American and European waters dating between the 16th and 19th Century were analysed using ICP-MS analysis. Comparing trace elements and lead isotope ratios of manillas and Benin Bronzes identifies Germany as the principal source of the manillas used in the West African trade between the 15th and 18th centuries before British industries took over the brass trade in the late 18th century.
