“Tulane stages a moving WWII drama of war and remembrance … One of the most remarkable scenes is that in Harrington’s Lost at Sea, following the destruction of Torpedo Squadron 8. A milky blue-green light bathes the stage and the actors portraying the dead airmen seemingly drift underwater, their bodies slowly moved by unseen currents.” — The Times Picayune
