...mount an exhibition of her paintings, she tells Caden she'd prefer that he stay home; she'll take Olive with her. Soon, it's clear, mother and child are gone for good. That leaves Caden open to the adoring advances of Hazel (Samantha Morton), who runs the box office at his theater. Her attentions hardly distract Caden from his obsessive suspicions of a physical breakdown: a bathroom accident has left him with a scar on his forehead and the skin disease known as sycosis. Before long, even sympathetic viewers will wonder if Caden is suffering from psychosis...

Republicans think the Democrats--aided by ACORN, the AFL-CIO, organized crime, the Comintern and the New York Times--are going to stuff every urban ballot box from Miami to Chicago with fraudulent ballots cast by phony, made-up repeat voters. The Democrats fear that the Republicans--aided by the League of Snarling 'n' Sweaty Southern Sheriffs, Wal-Mart, Fox News, Dick Cheney and the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover--are going to use legal shenanigans, menacing...
...Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has toured Britain, Australia and three U.S. cities), is the highlight of a remarkable recent surge of plays about the Iraq war. Hollywood, traditionally the go-to vehicle for telling war stories, had its own flurry of interest but after a few star-studded box-office underperformers (In the Valley of Elah, Redacted and, most recently, Body of Lies) has largely retreated to its foxhole. Theater has stepped into the breach, using an impressive arsenal of stage weaponry to grapple in more imaginative, varied and visceral ways with the U.S.'s extended tour of duty...
