		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Life’s full of ghosts and their sad stories; some tales are otherworldly, others are awash with regret. “The Weir” captures a good sample of the supernatural, including stories that are frightening because they are all too real. Irish bar man Brendan (Brad Smith) hosts country bachelors Jack (Brad Armacost) and Jimmy (Jeff Christian) for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Frankenstein” was such an extraordinary work for its time—indeed, though a Gothic novel, it is often considered to have virtually created the genre of science fiction—that there has been considerable skepticism over the years about how an unknown, unpublished 19-year-old girl could have come up with such a bizarre, twisted and forward-looking story all on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With “The Last Daughter of Oedipus,” Babes with Blades blithely contradict this well-known undergraduate theater-history fact: violence in Greek tragedy occurs offstage. Functioning as a sort of epilogue to Sophocles’ “Oedipus” trilogy, Jennifer L. Mickelson’s new play finds every excuse it can for sword-swinging and ass-kicking clamor. Ismene, sole survivor of the house of Oedipus, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED These days he’s called Sir David Frost, which seems a smidge lofty for someone better known three decades earlier as a louche British media personality and man-about-town. There was the bouffy hair, the sly wit. But no one took him seriously. Not really. Frost had a short-lived talk show that ran in the U.S. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In its latest ardent call to activism, Quest takes mask work, dance, show tunes and puppetry, and combines it with the democracy of a drum circle with mixed results. The show’s muddled narrative modifies the Pandora tale; the Greek Nosy Parker doesn’t let the world’s evils out of the box; she simply notices life’s everyday [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED “Carousel” was Richard Rodgers personal favorite of all the musicals he wrote, either with lyricist Lorenz Hart or with Oscar Hammerstein II. Together, Rodgers &#38; Hammerstein created a new kind of musical drama with 1943’s “Oklahoma!” where every song advanced the story line and every dance was done in character. The line between music [...]]]></description>
