...airport a couple of hours before a scheduled departure. To ease the tedium of waiting (and retain the loyalty of sophisticated passengers), airlines have taken unprecedented pains over their airport lounges in recent years. Not so long ago, first-class and business-class travelers were shown to drab rooms with nothing but a self-serve bar and rack of newspapers to recommend them. These days, they're more likely to be offered a fashionable sanctuary, with spa, dining and business facilities to keep them happily occupied for hours. Some lounges, like Virgin Atlantic's new Heathrow Clubhouse, above, rival...

Two Athenians, who are on the run because they...
...design is an interesting move for designer Jess R. Burkle ’06, whose Mainstage production “Knock” estranges its audience with its large-scale set. A smaller scale suits this family drama, as the entire theater becomes the House of the play.The drab, yet fussy style of the costumes is well-suited to the characters’ reluctant gravity. Costume designer Sabrina Chou ’09 is wise to give each sister’s black dress different-colored frills, since this both helps distinguish the actors and suggests the tumult underlying their...
Wandering the streets of St. Petersburg, which Bissell describes with luscious detail, Timothy is a spiritually fragmented man. Despite the companionship of his gay lover Sasha, Timothy is stuck in the aimless pursuit of curing his loneliness, and Bissell paints a movingly somber portrait that is never gloomy or drab.
