...much of 2007 and 2008, Spears was an unhinged superstar unraveling daily in front of a captivated global audience and voracious media scrum. There were hours of aimless driving, underwear-free outings with Paris Hilton, a bizarre romance with a paparazzo, an involuntary psychiatric hold. But after more than a year of belching putrid black smoke, the Britney machine is humming along quite nicely, thank you, and these days it's about the music, not the antics. Did she really shave her head or was that just a bad dream? (See Britney Spears in the top 10 celebrity Twitter feeds...

...Hard Weather Boating Party, by Naomi Wallace, suffers from something like the opposite problem. The play knows where it's going; the problem is getting there. Three apparently unrelated men gather in a seedy motel room to plan a murder.
