Stop! Before you do anything else, make plans to head over to the MIT Museum to see the exhibit chronicling Harold "Doc" Edgarton's experimental strobe photography. The show features such famous photographs as "Shooting the Apple" (1964) and "Milkdrop Coronet" (1957), as well as a photo taken of a nuclear bomb being tested in a Nevada Desert, entitled "Atomic Bomb Explosion" (1957). The Museum is at 265 Mass. Ave. 253-4444 for more information...
Rather than the famous "Now is the winter of our discontent...," Sussner's production begins with a creepy gothic soundtrack and a series of strobe-lighted pantomimes predicting (in reverse order) the murders that lead to Richard's kingly demise. Though the twisted, dehumanizing feel of the play is well captured by this unsettling preview, its final effect is desensitizing. Rather than beginning (as Shakespeare does) with a group of characters whose humanity is undermined as the play progresses, the humanity of Sussner's cast is defaced from the very start.

Turn down the lights, turn on the strobe, and dress to impress, because it's Saturday night and the clubs are hopping with a whole new dance sensation. It's not quite hip-hop, nor techno, nor disco, and it is certainly not the macarena. Amid this chaos of spinning lights, moving bodies and exciting beats stands the world's most sought after DJ and most versatile party-guy, the forerunner of the Big Beat Movement, and the master of the remix: Fatboy Slim, a.k.a. Norman Cook. On his new album, You've Come a Long Way, Baby, Fatboy Slim...
Last Friday morning, Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott had a tense, 20-minute session with Yeltsin at the Kremlin. Talbott, speaking in Russian, said, "We need to know what your intentions are and what you are going to do." An aide interjected, "Mr. President, Mr. Talbott wants to know if you plan to resign." In a conference call with Clinton and other top American foreign policy officials later, Talbott reported that Yeltsin slammed his fist onto the conference table and replied, "I intend to serve out my term!" That clinched the summit...
...Here's why: the audience stands in a cavernous room for the entire hourlong show, while a dozen or so performers soar overhead. Suspended on wires, they swoop and twirl, climb the walls, bounce in and out of the crowd. There's wind and a rainstorm (you get wet), strobe-light effects and pounding music. By the end, the aggressive performers have coaxed many in the crowd to boogie along, completing the hall's transformation from theater to disco. This mix of circus and performance art from the Argentine troupe De La Guarda is original, eye popping, repetitive. It lacks...
