...Woman in Mind (1984) A woman's fantasies of a "perfect" domestic life turn into the symptoms of her gradual descent into madness. One of Ayckbourn's most brilliant combinations of laughter and pain - and, happily, one of of the few plays from his great period that have not been totally ignored in the U.S.; Stockard Channing starred in a good off-Broadway production some years back...

By now, you’ve probably seen the all-too-perfect video of contestant Susan Boyle’s crowd-wowing rendition of Les Miserables’ “I Dreamed a Dream.” If you haven’t, perhaps you’ve heard her background story—hailing from Blackburn, Scotland...
