...that is causing old grievances to resurface in Northern Ireland. The Consultative Group on the Past, a government-appointed body tasked with examining how to deal with the legacy of the Troubles, is expected to deliver its much-anticipated final report within weeks. The group will likely recommend a Truth Commission-style body to examine unsolved killings committed during Northern Ireland's 30-year conflict. That tortuous process, plus the Maze's post-conflict makeover, could mean that Northern Ireland's contested past and the passions it kindled are about to resurface again. This time, though, the violence is more...
...only adds to the uncomfortable comedy of it all.Odd sexual undertones are present throughout. Dr. Sugar bides Catherine to sit on his lap and tells her he’s got something for her in his pocket, then proceeds to inject her with “truth serum.” Characters moan during monologues, roll around on the floor, and unbutton their shirts, all of which is highly distracting from the actual plotline.The Loeb Ex is an intimate performance space, and with only a few yards separating the audience from the actors, all of the convulsions, screams, rolling...

By so carefully portraying the landscape, details, and characters of the 17th century, Nadler allows his reader to enter into the mindset of the period...
...worse fate has befallen his works: indifference. Published in 1923, “The Prophet” enjoyed relative success among Gibran’s contemporaries and was rediscovered in the 60s as a spiritual guidebook written by an “Oriental wise man.” The truth of the matter, though, is that Gibran moved to Boston’s South End at the age of 12, having previously received no formal education in the Lebanon. Though he returned to Beirut for high school, he wrote more prodigiously in English than in Arabic...
