Small Play Deals With Big Issues
This Is How It Goes:
“This Is How It Goes,” a play directed by Krissy Hart-man, opened last Friday, Jan. 25 at the Wittenberg Stu-dent Theatre. It ran through last Sunday, Jan. 27. The plot follows married high school sweethearts who hit a lasting rough patch in their relationship. When an old friend from high school reappears, more stress is placed on the rela-tionship. The play deals with themes of racism, and do-mestic violence. It tells a rich story of three people and how their lives ultimately change.
Dylan George, ‘15, breaks the metaphori-cal fourth wall as he narrates to the audi-ence of the play. (Elizabeth Doll/ The Torch)

The traditional blueprint for a rom-com is neglected in this delightful "lm - a "lm which would be more apt to be categorized as a drama rather than a comedy. (Art Courtesy of The Weinstein Company)
