...contemporary British theater is your bag, head to the Ex Oct. 31-Nov. 2 for Patrick Marber’s scathing black comedy Closer. But leave your younger siblings home, as Closer just might offend their young ears with its nasty profanity and its pointed take on modern adult relationships. This darkly comic tragedy, directed by Mike Donahue ’05, may become the date show of the season, as countless young lovers reevaluate their relationships after witnessing love and sex, contemporary-style...
...home for Thanksgiving, don’t forget to head back to the Ex for Cradle Will Rock. You’ll likely be thankful for the energetic direction in this “Brechtian labor musical” about unionization in early 20th-century Steeltown, USA, directed by Patrick Hosfield ’05.

But the 11-time All-Star is retiring without an NBA title despite leading the Knicks to the play-offs 13 times between...
...That leaves Townsend the last Kennedy standing in this year's races for higher office. (Cousin Patrick, Teddy's son, seems safe in his bid for re-election as a Rhode Island Congressman.) But her campaign has faltered: her choice of a white running mate was considered an insult to African-American voters, who constitute almost 30% of the electorate, especially after Ehrlich picked the state's black g.o.p. chairman for his ticket. And her association with Governor Parris Glendening has saddled her with some blame for next year's projected $1.3 billion deficit. Last week she had to fire...
