...essentials: a bare stage and the imagination. A production of Moby Dick from Germany's Theater Triebwerk (presented at New York City's New Victory Theater last spring) re-creates Melville's tale with just three actors, some costume changes and a few minimalist stage effects--like a swaying lamp to represent the rolling sea. A new version of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, first produced at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and restaged this fall by Jeff Church of the Coterie Theater in Kansas City, Mo., features one prop, a cage on wheels, and four actors...
Choi recalls how the band adapted to the absence of microphone stands: By taping their makeshift microphone to a Harvard-issued floor lamp. The band members had cheap instruments and small practice amps, and Choi says the first time she actually held a real microphone with the group was at their first show, a performance in the Quincy Cage that was, in Hufstedler’s words, “a total bomb.” The show was plagued by broken strings and other assorted equipment problems.

And of course the brand-new color-coordinated bedding ensemble--pink sheets, pink pillows, pink comforter--which matched the pink shag rug and halogen lamp with the pink shade.

That old-world feeling shows up in everything from custom upholstered down-filled sofas ($3,000) to hand-embroidered Italian linens ($60-$495). Best sellers so far include a crystal-block lamp (about $295) and fringed cashmere throws in colors like cayenne, chocolate and sage (about $295). Customers can also log on to a partial ecatalog and order custom upholstery. Look for a full Williams-Sonoma Home website in spring 2005--and retail stores next fall...
...fish anyway so it’s just as well, I think, although I’ve wasted the remaining light sticking rusty hooks through not-pinned-into-place worms and now face the prospect of starting a fire in the dark, unless I can get the kerosene lamp started. (Booker had given me a demonstration about how to use it. “You see? Vis and you pull vis and turn vis. Eezy. Got it?” I didn’t at all, but was too scared to ask questions, and at this point I hadn?...
