...Within walking distance of the Museum of Fine Arts is the eclectic and wildly idiosyncratic Gardner museum, the private collection of Boston's late madcap socialite, Isabella Stuart Gardner. Thanks to lax conservation regulations and import laws, Gardner was able to amass a rather impressive, if jumbled, collection of paintings, decorative arts, and artifacts from around the world. Only here can one find opulent Byzantine windows (taken from actual Venetian palazzos), Boticelli paintings, and second century Roman bathhouse mosaics all melded into a unified whole. Gardner stipulated in her will that the collection remain exactly as it was originally curated...
...these three madcap actors weren't on stage, they would be more like cartoon characters than anything. It is overtly hilarious, and like a cartoon, the play organizes its humor into episodic bursts. Each "play" (like Romeo and Juliet) or group of plays (like the Comedies) is distinctly hilarious and could easily stand on its own as a short skit.

...those of you who missed the production of Vaclav Havel's 1965 play The Memorandum at the Ex this past Weekend, you should forever regret missing the chance to learn the intricacies and contours of Ptydepe. Junior Martin Hostetler's adaptation of now-Czech-President Havel's madcap satirical comedy was, for the most part, dead-on. The play itself, essentially a lampoon of modern bureaucracy based on the introduction of a scientifically engineered language, "Ptydepe," into a truly bizarre office space, is remarkably relevant to 20-somethings caught up in today's corporate America. Because Havel's material...
...rough year for Vladimir Zhirinovsky, madcap leader of Russia's ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party. Last month his colleagues banned him from the Duma floor after he called for the communists "to be shot." But things may be picking up with the publication of his latest book, The ABCs of Sex. At a publicity event for the 222-page tome, the self-proclaimed "sexual knight of all the girls of Russia" proposed a new domestic sex industry as the panacea for the country's economic ills...
