...resounding critical huzzahs of the fall, the London Royal Court theatre's production of Chekhov's The Seagull. Kristin Scott Thomas is the biggest star name in this one, and as Arkadina, the aging actress around whom revolves a typically Chekhovian slice of unhappy provincial life, she's just fine, if somewhat less the diva than I imagine Arkadina on the page. Indeed, the whole cast deserves high grades (though Peter Sarsgaard, an American ringer among the Brits, brings down the curve a bit). What bothered me was the fussy and ponderous direction by Ian Rickson. From the famous first...
...Picasso's Legacy Re "The Fine Art of Theft," by Don Morrison [Oct. 27]: Picasso may be indicted for many crimes against art, but plagiarism is not one of them.

Wear clothes that look like they cost $3, but are from an era where $3 bought a house. That means powdered wigs, pocket squares, and fine Umbrian cod pieces—all of which are assets on the punch scene, particularly at The Bee. Show up early for the first mixer so you can greet the members as they arrive. Look sharp by wearing a white tie and bring markers to fill it in as you figure...
...urban farm.The future campus’ “streets are very much designed for people—people on foot,” according to Michael Vergason, a landscape architect on Harvard’s master planning team who describes the campus as having “a fine texture or network of circulation that provides a variety of ways to get to the same place.”In terms of open space, the new master plan will also have a greenway, which will run through the neighborhood and extend to near the Charles, and allow...
