...perhaps the greatest indicator of Maas' success was the absence of a riotous response to "Dooms Night," the Azzido Da Bass track whose ubiquitous remix catapulted Maas to the forefront of the international scene. The crowd certainly ate it up, roaring with anticipation as the familiar shuffling beat filtered from the speakers, but not so much that anyone could call Maas a one-remix wonder. If anything, they much preferred lesser-known but equally well-crafted Maas tracks, occasionally jumping up and down with the reckless abandon of seventh-graders at a school dance. That's not to say that...
Remember when you learned about King George III in elementary school? Well, you ain't heard nothing yet. Turns out the good king went mad shortly after the American Revolution, and his lapse into insanity and subsequent recovery form the basis of Alan Bennet's riotous comedy The Madness of George III, now playing on the Loeb Mainstage. A costume drama, a period farce and a history lesson (or at least a lesson in one of history's most amusing footnotes), Madness is sure to please...
...that would eventually lead to his own conviction for sodomy, then imprisonment and loss of public appreciation of his art. Gross Indecency recreates the trial that shook the creative world, drawing from a number of accounts, including Wilde's lover Lord Alfred Douglas, George Bernard Shaw and Wilde's riotous testimony during the trial itself.

There followed such complaints from the stone carvers and masons that Betsy stayed in business without any interruption. Thus from the very beginning, there were, in and around the White...
Protesters have dubbed the upcoming 10 days of '60s-style rallies, teach-ins and street theater "Seattle Two: The Sequel," a clear reference to the riotous demonstrations that shook a World Trade Organization meeting in that city late last year. Fifteen hundred of the capital's finest, backed by federal law-enforcement agencies on 24-hour alert, will try to block any reappearance of the black-hooded anarchists who inflicted millions of dollars of damage on downtown Seattle. Njehu, who heads a coalition of more than 200 groups, will be on hand, along with thousands of union members, religious activists...
