...usually the case on the Mainstage, the technical elements of “Lucie Cabrol” are lovely. The lighting, designed by Joshua Randall, casts much of the play in a dimly-lit zone, with some nice effects (the red light spilling from a wood stove, for example) that occasionally verge into gimmickry (the coffin-shaped spotlight that Lucie lies in, for example...
...Blame by Nigerian playwright Ola Rotimi, which transplants Sophocles' Oedipus Rex to Africa. He talks about his school and having to go to mass every day. He pronounces Catholic Cad-lick in his wonderful, treacle-thick Ghanaian English. There is a small table in the corner with a stove sitting on it.

Time travel allows us to pay for an experience once and then have it again and again at no additional charge, learning new lessons with each repetition...
With restaurants that don't even own a stove opening around the country, and delivery services in New York City, Atlanta and Los Angeles, I decided to eat nothing but raw food for a week. This didn't quite work out, since most of the food I'm offered is cooked and I'm not very good at turning down a free meal. But I made it for almost three days, during which I ate some surprisingly awesome stuff and felt pretty good, if often hungry. Plus, I saved a lot of time because I could shop in only...
