Through The Leaves, Colchester This is a terrific play. Dating from 1978, Franz Xaver Kroetz's story of the destructive relationship between a woman who runs the local butcher's shop and a factory worker has already had a number of successful revivals, including one that rather amazingly made it into the West End for a brief run. I say amazingly because this is not cosy viewing, rather a gripping...

W E DO LIKE TO GO to the theater, Lindsey and I. We see all the plays in Ashland at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival ; we see nearly all the plays in Los Angeles (Glendale, actually) at A Noise Within . We catch occasional plays closer to home, in Berkeley or San Francisco or even up here in Sonoma county, in Santa Rosa or Sebastopol. We like the standard repertory; we like new plays; we like the classics;...

The male toes are cool in their aviators and bare-chested, sporting only swimming trunks. I was never a fan of aviators...

Dance has always been seen as the one art form where women weren't just more visible than men, but were also in charge. From the pioneering contemporary choreographer Martha Graham, to the Royal Ballet founder Ninette de Valois, to the late, great Pina Bausch, the list of female names who have been pivotal...
