by Sara Ali

Theater Week

The Sea at the Shaw

by Anthony Chase

Like Anton Chekhov, Edward Bond insists that he writes comedies, but he speaks with a voice imbued with all the seriousness of grand tragedy.

by Jim Corbran

Let me get this out of the way right up front: there have been only two Corvettes I’ve lusted for over the years—the 1964-67 coupe (sorry, fans of the ’63 split window), and the 1968-72 convertible. Stylewise, the rest of the lot never did much for me. Until now.

Offbeat News

News of the Weird

by Chuck Shepherd

Up-and-coming Sicilian mobster Domenico Palazzotto, 28, was outed in August by Italy’s L’Espresso magazine as the owner of an ineffectively pseudonymous Facebook page showing off his muscled, bare-chested body and perhaps recruiting members. One fan asked, “Do I need to send a (resume)?” “Yes, brother,” came the reply.

Horoscopes

Free Will Astrology

by Rob Brezsny

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As you know, real confidence has no bluster or bombast. It’s not rooted in a desire to seem better than everyone else and it’s not driven by a fear of appearing weak. Real confidence settles in when you have a clear vision of exactly what you need to do.
