• Isabelle Huppert Shines in Phaedra(s) at BAM Harvey Theater

  14-09-2016 19:36 via bkmag.com
  
  So much theater today amounts to bite-sized snacks that barely whet your appetite, but Krzysztof Warlikowski’s Phaedra(s) is like a feast or ceremony that provides theatrical sustenance for days on end.

Many writers have told the story of the royal Phaedra, and Warlikowski samples a lot of them here, from Euripides and Se

  This week’s weather is just killing it, right? Blue skies, no clouds, and for the first time in a long while I don’t feel like I’m trapped inside the mascot suit at a pre-season football game in Alabama, so it’s already an Ideal Week in my book.

  Chef Dan Holzman may have made a name for himself slinging meatballs (and chicken balls and veggie balls) at The Meatball Shop, which he founded with his longtime friend Michael Chernow, but his repertoire extends far beyond (ahem) balls.
